corsaircorp Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Hello Dears, Since my Seafire FR.47 in now in such a state... Time to think about givin'her a deck mate... HMS Triumph on the first British action in the Korean war has Some Seafire FR.47 and Fairey Firefly Mk I, Sooo My Korean serie is on the go with another british entry, I would have a WWII paint scheme with the Korean stripes But... Will not have the 2 with almost the same painting... And I hesitate between Evely Tentions or Lucy quipment for my BPF serie. So I will make this one I will just check if she lasted long enough to carry the stripes too... The offer is good, look But I will add this, and this same resin parts in the Grand Phoenix one ! Let's start !! The instructions gave some Beige radio and radar boxes... I doubt about that color, may be @tonyot can help about the fact ! However, I'll warmly thank Tony, his articles are really helpfull, However, I miss the one about the Fireflies... Have a good modelling time CC, the serial WiP'er.... 19
Massimo Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Very nice subjetct!!! You've reminded me I've got the Grand Phoenix kit, which I bought after having built my Seafire 47 from the same supplier. I'll follow tou wit interest!!! 1
The Spadgent Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Not another one. looking forward to this one too dear boy. Johnny. 1
Martian Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I have the Grand Phoenix kit and the AZ Target Tug version so in my own good time you may commence! Martian 1

DAG058 Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 This looks fun Dennis! That box art is great, I like it a lot. 1
Martian Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 Enfant mechant! I keep on thinking about that Target Tug SIG idea of yours CC, it just will not go away. If I do end up setting up such a group, you will be the first target to get towed. If I have told you once before that I need no assistance to get myself into trouble, I have told you a thousand times! Martian 2
John Masters Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 This looks to be fun. I find the Firefly has likeable lines and a robust character... 1 1
tonyot Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 Hiya C.C. Wow this should prove to be a beauty,..... it will look great alongside your Seafire too. Re the radio`s,..... I usually just paint them black mate,..... wouldn`t go for beige anyway! I suppose a mid/dark grey case,.... but black seems favourite to me! That is what I`be done with my Fireflies in the past. Cheers Tony 1

bigbadbadge Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Ooooh very nice. I have one of these in the stash and we just looking at it yesterday thinking about bringing it to the top of the queue but decided not to. Your build may give me the inspiration. All the best Chris 1

Here he is ! and the little story to go with ! But my mistake, I quoted the story aboard HMS Theseus but it was HMS Glory in fact More to come soon, seemingly, the chin of the Firefly has to be rectified... sincerely. CC 4 4

corsaircorp Posted April 8, 2018 Author Posted April 8, 2018 Dear @Martian Hale I will ask the permission to use the photos, these are not mine I saw it on FB Sincerely CC 1
NAVY870 Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Cockpit colours here in my own very stalled thread. (I broke the windscreen and I dont do vac canopies so its parked for the duration!) 1
Max Headroom Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 Ooh! I’ll tag along if I may? I’m doing the Novo Mk.1 in 1/72 and it’ll be useful to see what I need to scratch build on it. Trevor 1
corsaircorp Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 Welcome aboard Trevor ! Thanks Navy 870, Did you tried the Barracuda ones ! I will use it instead of the original ones or at least a part of it. So if it went well, I'll pass a Windscreen to you. Can't let a Firefly dryin' out on a shelf ! Sincerely. CC 1

A Target Tug Sea Venom ?? Wow, it will be interesting, especially for our Dear Alien @Martian Hale for his Target Tug SIG !! My Firefly Mk V will also be a Korean war one, to go beside the Sea Fury.. Aaaaand Sammy the Stork. Must now find some pics of the HMS Glory Sea Furies and Fireflies ... Why should I not make a kit OOB ?? Sincerely. CC 1 1
