Silver Fox Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I've been building some kits from th Stash recently as a change from my usual fare. I bought two Special Hobby Seafires about 6 years ago, I built the Mark III and it fought me all the way. So the Mk II languished in the stash moving slowly further down the build pile. I've recently sold a lot of kits that I'll never build but this one still appealed so I gave it a go. The build was not as bad as I remembered but still needed a lot of sanding and filling. I got the airframe complete, as a LIIC then found that the decals and scheme were at best dubious. The other schemes were more likely to be correct but I was committed to a clipped winged six stack machine.machine After drawing a blank for after market decals I found a thread from a few years ago that gave me a possible solution, but even so it is probably a What If rather than a model of a real machine. Anyway here she is. Thanks for looking 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Nice Seafire. A welcome change as we don't see as many of the naval versions of the Spitfire as we do land based examples. I would like to see more pictures in your post though. Well done. Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
