No idea mate, but show us how it works out!

First rate job! Talking of rigging hell, what technique did you use?

I quite liked the Italeri version. I did mine as a Seafire 1b I hadn't modified the aeriel or prop. Just noticed that the canopy is missing!

This is very interesting indeed! Do any of the manufacturers of spray cans (not modelling related) quote some sort of colour standard (BS, FS)?

20mm Hispano's?

Dunno how far you want to stretch 'whiffery', but.................... Didn't the Chinese almost buy the GR.1? Can you see where this one's going?

Wooksta! I seem to recall that the Airfix kit had a problem with the wing chord and that the aerolons on the upper surface needed filling and rescribing. Plus it has raised details whilst Italeri has inscribed. Oh yes the canopy is pants and has minimal internal details! TBH rob the aerial and prop and throw the Airfix kit away! So then pistols at dawn?

From memory not a lot and what follows is mainly cosmetic but here goes: Ariel is just a featureless pole - Airfix from spares box far better Prop blades -don't look quite right - again Airfix Cockpit walls have no detail - plastic strip or even thick transfers cut into strips and then painted over Don't use the seat mounting bracket as the seat will be too far forward otherwise Use Tamiya tape or whatever to simulate the harness and finally not an inaccuracy but cement the nose to each fuselage half and lay flat on a surface to set before sticking the fuselage halves together. Otherwise as I recall it's a great little model - no filler or cursing needed.

Lovely model and ag reat finish! What are the AAM's?

Lovely build - especially like the totally flat finish. Just a thought though, does the windscreen look slighttly odd? It has the rake of the internally armoured later screen, but shouldn't it be more 'sit up and beg'?

Very well done! I have the Novo release in my stash and have done for longer than I can remember. One of the things that made me twitch was the two part rear canopy - may have to invest in that Falcon set then! I have the Ian Huntley series of articles from SAM ready for the day I commit scalpel to plastic!

I'm sure one of the last Air Enthusiasts had an article about it. I'll burrow into my archive.

Comrade Radish You've been rumbled. Using superior western Google satellites, Secret Agent Gary Powers flew over your peasant's paradise and photographed this TU-21 http://www.britesparxpl.com/images/tu21.jpg Your cunning plan is no more. Up the Capitaists!!!!

many thanks - if/when I get round to it, definitely RhAF!

Hello '603 - great models of an air arm not frequently built. Can you answer a small question for me please? Is it true that the 'brown' and 'green' are actually from former RAF dark earth/dark green stocks of WWII vintage? I have also seen reference to 'sky' undersides too. After seeing the pics, I'm seriously considering doing my 1/72 Aeroclub Vampire T.11 in RhAF colours

Good job on each! Even at speed you do quality stuff. Now then, at this rate how long will it take for you to clear your stash?!!!???!!

I'm on tenderhooks here! On the final straight or is Mrs. Busdriver having to tether you down because of the coffee buzz?

O.M.G. want one :jump_fire:

Two PR.XIX's Lovely build BTW

I don't have the reference but I'm sure Alan Hall did it for Airfix Magazine aeons ago?

What's the RRP here anyone know? Intrigued by the sprues - why two canopies, it's hard to tell if there are any differences?

I like.........I like it a lot. but if the Gull is 1/20 scale how big is that £1 coin?

I may stand to be corrected but there are no C.1's in any scale. However, if you want a C.2 (ie a HS.748 wiv a serial not a registration) then you can have the stone age Airwaves offering in 1/72, or a Welsh Models offering in 1/144, both vac form. I have no idea as to availability.

PLEASE build the MPC one with the propellor and flowers..............PLEASEE!

Ένα εξαιρετικό και ασυνήθιστο μοντέλο! Μπράβο. Google says that means "An excellent and unusual model! Well done."
