This is coming along very nicely Gary @gwskat. Good thing you’re going with the folded wings. I discovered the hard way that this kit was not designed to display the wings in the down position.

Your seafire looks great with the decals on - nice saves!

No matter how good a modeler you are @gwskat, and you are indeed a good modeler, I didn't expect this to end up as it is, i.e., Really Good. Mostly because I didn't think that much of the raw material (having built quite a few of them). But this has become something quite extraordinary - all due to what you brought to the battle.

This has been a labor of love and it shows! Exquisite work, so far!

Hey All.
Mid weekend update:

Added Tamiya Red, Green, Yellow Clears to the recognition lights. Pleased with the look of the previous added aluminum foil behind the paint. Gives it a nice shine.

Added the legs and covers:

Overall dark wash on the panel lines. Doesn't show up very well in the pics. It may need another go.
Added cockpit seat and harness belts:

Assembled the contra props using the kits spinners and Barracuda Prop Blades:

Just for grins and giggles...Dry fitted the engine and props just to see what She's going to look like. Likin' it!

All in all I'm pretty pleased with the progress and look.

Until next time, Have a great Easter and as always KEEP IT FUN!

Excellent work indeed, Gary @gwskat
Effect on the recognition lights is beautiful.

Great work, Gary @gwskat,
The vacu form canopy looks much better than the original one.

Gary, @gwskat
The word incredible comes to mind when I see how nice this is already looking... Keep it going my friend ! 🙂
