Mike Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Nice work... It shares a lot of lines with the Seafang I've just finished, with the major exception of the wings

Martian Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Gorgeous job. I think the 46 is my favorite of all the Seafire s. Martin
keith in the uk Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Nice work there Homebee , Seems like Seafires and spitfires are very popular at the moment here on BM and yours is spot on.

Doug Rogers Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Lovely build Homebee, are those the Quickboost cannons or did you drill out the kit ones?
Homebee Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Thanks for all your kind comments. It shares a lot of lines with the Seafang I've just finished, with the major exception of the wings Do I've to say Mike that your Seafang was a source of inspiration for me. Highly recommended, the WIP is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=30701 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31569 Lovely build Homebee, are those the Quickboost cannons or did you drill out the kit ones? You're right Doug, these are the Quickboost cannons ref. QB 48064. A very useful as easy (and not too expensive) add on. Regards V.P. Edited June 20, 2009 by Homebee
