corsaircorp Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hello Dears ! Now, That's the last one for 2019 !! So, let's go to Kai Tak in September October 1951... The lady is surely shy, given the last minute glitches that has occured !! But, I can call her finished and I'm reasonably glad. The Airfix kit in Eduard boxing is a great and good deal !! The resin interior has been corrected by Aires and is far easier to use than the first outing ! (The one I used on my Seafire .47 as an example....) I like that big nose and the Barracuda prop' blades look far better !! An pic of the beastie the day they arrive at Kai Tak... In september, they received the black and white stripes to avoid any shooting from the trigger happy cow boys from the colonies... However, they did'nt flow over Korea, they were involved... Patrolling the chinese border... As usual, I worked my interiors They were not all repainted in black, so I elected to let her in interior green, The shade seen on the pics is not darker enough methink ! I think that I should have painted the seat in interior green too, but it was too late ... Cockpit was already buttoned up ! And I also elected to let her as clean as possible, so No Woosh thingies or fuel tanks of any sorts !! I also changed the wheels, but I don't remember where I picked it up... The canopy is a Falcon one since the original one did'nt fitted the plane at all. 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted December 22, 2019 Author Share Posted December 22, 2019 For the ones interested in the build up, here's the thread... Well I say Brits in Korea ?? So here she is for a family pic ! and then, here are FEAF cousins, I think, the last units to use her majesty the Spitfire operationally !! I see on a IWM film, that the .24 were later painted in high speed silver. As usual, paints are X-tracrylics ! Plus the Flory grime and so on ! Seemingly, the cutting mat is now too little to welcome this.... Well Gents, feel free to comment or even show your if any ! I wish you all a merry Christmas !! Hope that Santa will be kind with you !! Bringing some long awaited kits. Dear Santa, Go kick some A... at Airfix factory... We both need a good 1/48 Scimitar !! Well take care Gents !! Did I take a second blue Chimay ?? Nope tomorrow it's 8 hr under that horrible weather ! So, it's up to the smiley to have one !! Cheeers !! Sincerely.
