Hi Bex,

Its just done with a silver paint which I get from B&Q. Its called Plasticoat. it goes on really fine and levels out well.. just touch it on with a very fine paint brush...

Cheers,

Neil

Thanks Neil, I'll give it a bash........... my last prop was done with a sanding stick very gently (actually its my first proper prop job :lol: )

Nope, doesn't look like any Sea Fury I've seen - sorry

:D

All joking about the name plate aside, it's a lovely job. James Rankin was one of the highest scoring Scottish fighter pilots of WW2.

I only have a couple of observations, which aren't really anything to do with the model. Firstly I would have expected the background to the Lion Rampant to be yellow, and didn't W3312 carry the Spitfire Fund name "Moonraker"?
