Thanks Chris, The paint is ALCLAD II Polished Aluminium sprayed over a base coat of Tamiya gloss black from the aerosol can. The white is from Floquil. Once painted, I riveted the entire airframe using one of my Rosie Riveter tools. Cheers, Mark

Hi Gary, Yes it is the Classic Airframes kit. Built using kit decals and a fair amount of Mr. Surfacer Cheers, Mark

Hi All, Well with 6 hours left until the new year here is my last effort of the year... Cheers, Mark

Hey Bruce, Nice one as usual. Yep, unlike me you got the gear doors on the right way. But...unlike you, I got my windscreen on the right way...first time Cheers, Lynchy

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the feedback on the Sea Fury. Yep, you got it...it's JB alright. It was the Melbourne, I just checked my logbook the date was 14 Aug 07, only missed you by a few weeks then. No, not an S-70, rather an AS350BA Squirrel. I have a few other pics if you are interested, just PM me an email address. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for taking the time to respond. The paint is XTRAcrylix. Yes, I got the roundels on the correct way in all positions...it goes with the territory when you fly aircraft with the same national markings, I'd be very embarrassed if I blew that one. Here's a shot of me at 'work'...i'm on the right.

Nice work Neil, great scheme and I particularly like the correctly attached gear doors I wish I put mine on correctly. Cheers, Mark

Doh...thanks Neil. You'd think that a guy that flies in a squadron that once flew Sea Furies would sort those sorts of details out wouldn't you? :shithappens: I'll correct them in the morning. Cheers, Mark

Hi Guys, Here is one I started a few days ago and finished earlier today . Ultracast seat, XTRAcrylix paint, a mix of decals and Cooper Details wheels....oh...and a Squadron canopy...and a scratchbuilt bulkhead and headrest behind the seat. Cheers, Mark

I've heard on the grapevine that the 1/32 HC kit is not 'that flash'...I truly hope that this is NOT the case. I have also heard that there will be a Trumpeter 1/48 Sea Fury before the end of this year. Fingers crossed. Cheers, Mark

It's pretty straight forwards actually. It's just a wash. I use acrylic paint, some use oil paints...I beleive there is a guy on the site that seels the wash pre made. Have a look around this site...I think his name is Phil Florey. Cheers, Mark

Hi Bob, Thanks for the comments. I'll build anything...except 1/72 (unless it's a Vulcan) Cheers, Mark

Hi Guys, This is my first post here although I have been visiting for a while and admiring the fantastic work. Anyway, I finished this one a couple of days ago, I hope you like it. Cheers, Mark
