Now if you prefer Spitfire, feel free to call them hooked Spitfires Nice to see your production line back in the arena !! Sincerely. CC Apart from the later, Griffin Seafires, I'd say Seafires and Spitfires were the same aircraft. 7 hours ago, Procopius said: Even one is too many.

Beard Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 I've been writing and recording an EP over the last couple of weeks so not an awful lot.of modelling has been done but I've got the Seafire ready for its transfers: and the Sword XIV I mentioned earlier, is nearly ready for painting: I used Master barrels because I lost patience trying the trim the supplied parts to fit - incidentally, did Sword actually do a test-build of this kit before release? Because it's a pig of a kit. Thanks for looking. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi Simon. Good to see you back on the Spits again and a Seafire too. That's great. Cracking work fella they look splendid. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Started putting transfers on the Seafire: I really like Freightdog transfers; they're glossy, in-register, and settle down easily. Meanwhile, the XIV has a first coat of paint but had no photographs taken. Thanks for looking. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 While the canopy dries on the Seafire, I've got the XIVe ready for its Dark Green. Thanks for looking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gentlemen. While the glue on the Seafire's undercarriage dries, I've given the XIV a coat of Colourcoats Dark Green: I think it'll need a light sanding before the next coat. Thanks for looking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 The Seafire is virtually done and the painting of the XIV is nearly done so I've decided to start another Thanks for looking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 As the Freightdog/ KP Seafire only needs it's pitot tube painted and a matt coat on its underside, the Sword XIV has had a gloss coat prior to getting its transfers and the AZ IX about to be assembled, I thought I'd start another. This: with this here are the bits freed from their bag While they're soaking in some soapy water, I've cut some plastic and used this... to get this: I have made one of these before and I really ought to finish it Thanks for looking. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you you need is a pair of sprue cutters, a scalpel, a SRHC file, and to remember that there's nothing to fear except fear itself. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Some glue, some paint and I have something that resembles a Spitfire... I've found that I've run out of several essential paint colours so progress may be slow until my order from Sovereign Hobbies arrives. Thanks for looking. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
