Sebastiano Tringali Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) I'm new on Britmodeller and I would to show you some photos of my Seafire in progress. As base I've used the Tamiya 1/48 MkV+Airwaves Seafire III wingfold conversion set. The merlin engine came from Aires. Next step, the wings and the folding mechanism. Any feedback welcomed and thanks for looking!

Sebastiano Tringali Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Some update: In this Christmas holidays I have work on wingfolds, Airwaves photoetching details for the wingfold mechanism seems too flat, in my opinion, so I have added some scratchbuilt details to improve realism. Also I have cut the flap on the solid resin wing and replace them with photoetched new one. Now I have a question: Which is the correct color for the wingfolds ? Interior green or Sky? Thanks for helping. Any feedback always welcomed and thanks for looking! Next step: the cockpit!

Sebastiano Tringali Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 so whats happening on this project? These are hard modelling times for me, I've a newborn (eigth months old at today) and often, for my work, I stay away from home for weeks. I've do some progress but I've frozen this project until better times. Ciao Sebastiano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
