jenko Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Latest of the bench..... yes another Seafire/Spitfire from Jenko (only another 30 odd to make!!!!!)........ This is the Special hobby kit (1/48) OOB. Decals are from Aeromaster. A lot has been written about this kit. You do get a sense of achievement when the model is finished. (Wish the real mainstream boys would bring one of these out). Hope you like. Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome (good or bad!!!) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 'Tis a thing of beauty you have there Jenko. Working on a 72nd scale Seafire III myself at the moment and this is wonderful inspiration. Take it she wasn't a straightforward build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Well, I'd make a bad comment about your model, Dick, but I can't. Lovely model, there! I need to get me one in 1/72nd scale, not that I don't already have about 15 Spitfires/Seafires waiting in the queue as it is.

Miggers Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 She's a good'un Dick. Nice and clean with not a dirty black panel line in sight. Good to see a III in TSS with C type markings too,much prefer 'em to FEAF plain white and blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelvy Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 A nice, clean build. I have a particular soft spot for the Mk III and am always pleased to see one. I have one observation, however and it regards the aerial wires. You have done a lovely job on them, but I don't believe the aerial wire from the mast to the tail fin and the IFF "cheesecutter" wires were fitted to the Mk III.

heloman1 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Looks the ticket there Dick, I like the fact that you haven't made any attempt to over emphasise the panel lines, the light catches them and you can see them. Great work. always good to see another FAA subject. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
