Andy Moore Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Supermarine Seafire FR.46 Airfix 1/48 Hi Guys Airfix's classic Seafire, build March 2014. I got this as a present from my cousin so, as it didn't cost me anything, I decided to splash out on a few AM accessories to tart it up a bit. so in no particular order. Quickboost resin seat Quickboost resin exhaust Barracuda resin wheels Rob Taurus vac canopy Montex paint masks (only used for the roundels) The Taurus canopy was pretty much essential as the kit part doesn't fit in the open position and mine was badly fogged anyway. The Barracuda wheels were fantastic, I'll definitely be using their stuff again. I was expecting a nightmare with the Montex masks but in the end they worked really well although it was a little nerve wracking pulling them off at the end, hoping that everything was in register. The only other additions were a few scratched details in the cockpit (which you can't see) and some brass tubing for the gun barrels. Hope you enjoy the shots Thanks for looking Andy 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Brilliant Andy, congratulation on a stunning model but then I'm biased as I'm ex Fleet Air Arm. I picked the kit up a couple of months ago, now I know what I have to aim at. Thanks for the pics. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Impressive piece of modelling, with an artwork standard finish! One caveat, though: Rotol prop blades were made of wood, with a thin leading edge brass sheath. So those silver coloured "natural metal" wear marks have to be attributed to imaginative artistic license… ;-) Slick modelling. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
