Darwinism

I was hoping they’d have had a RAAF choice but sadly not. I’ll definitely still buy a kit when they eventually make their way down here and order markings from Ronin Decals.

I remember seeing Gannets at an RNAS airshow when I was a child - even at that age I was surprised how something that big and ugly could fly. You’ve captured the look perfectly- terrific work Einar!

‘No outstanding job’? It’s marvellous - great work!

Nice work DrumBum. I recently finished the GR4 retirement scheme version and it sure was a challenge, fighting back at every opportunity. I know, then, how much hard work you’ve put in to get such a great result.

Love your idea of using nuts and bolts as a form of negative clamp - that’s inspired Starseeker!

Hello from Australia Danzyc!

Thanks for your help Evil_Toast_RSA, KevinK, fastterry and Magpie22. I should have mentioned that I’m doing the II (AC) Sqn aircraft so HSS, or rather DTD 63/260 it’ll be then. Thanks again for the advice. Andy

Hello all, probably a dumb question but hoping for a bit of a steer from those of you in the know. I’m building the 1/48 Airfix Spitfire mk.XIV and want to finish it in the silver option. Would this have been NMF or, as I suspect, silver/aluminium paint as in high speed silver. thanks for your help. Andy

Super build Stef. I always like to see a Spitfire with French roundels and the red undercarriage leg and wheel adds a nice splash of colour.

Great work and my, could you imagine the wonderful noise they’d be making!

Nice work Blade2009. A terrific finish - the high speed silver is spot on.

Hello from Australia - welcome to the forum Tim!

I used to regularly see these aircraft making practice approaches to the USAF airfield I was lucky enough to live on in Japan which was just down the road from Atsugi. Your model captures the real thing perfectly RiotRolo.

Beautiful. Love the doped silver finish - you’ve nailed it.

Great work Eivind! I’ve been a fan of the Walfisch ever since building the venerable Airfix kit as a kid.
