Col. Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Built this one as a conversion from the Airfix Spitfire Vb using an assortment of parts from various sources and the kind help of a few BM members.

HOUSTON Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 SUPERB... Very well painted and subtly weathered. I like it a tad dirty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelvy Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Rather like that. Only query. Did the French revert go the VHF system with the aerial wire? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) That looks superb Col. You've caught her nicely in the long curving approach favoured by Spit/Sea pilots. Very well done mate,well worth the work and research. Edited May 19, 2013 by Miggers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcclure Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Very nicely done indeed. I always love to see a model posed in-flight and this is a very interesting way of doing it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Cheers for the comments gentlemen. Really enjoyed this one to the extent I've another Airfix Vb & a Vc on the bench to make a Ib & IIc from. Not to mention at least 8 other Seafre of various marks in 48th under the bench & a pile of decal options that will require a few more adding. Who, me, obsessed? Nah. Want to say a big thankyou to Miggers & Fatalbert for their help with this one. It would not have happened without your assistance gents. Davidelvy - so far as I can see from the one reference photo I found this was as fitted to the real machine but it wasn't the clearest so could be mistaken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
