Hello all,
Here is my recently completed effort for the Carriers Ahoy! group build in the form of the vintage Inpact 1/48th scale Fairey Flycatcher from 1968. The kit is nicely moulded and stands up well against some more modern kits especially the texture on the fabric areas of the airframe.
I have replaced the kit decals with my own home print efforts, except the fuselage band which I hand painted along with most of the model with the exception of the metal parts of the aircraft which are completed with Bare Metal Foil. I used the kit supplied Kleintex rigging thread but added my own 'turnbuckles' from aluminium tubing.
I Thoroughly enjoyed building this old kit, so much so I recently acquired the Bristol Bulldog albeit in the more recent boxing by Pyro.
The Build thread is here:
Cheers, Mark.
