Well, we can call this one done. Wasn't sure if I was going to finish today but thanks to a wet & cold Sunday afternoon, I was able to focus on the build.
The canopy was a bit of work with gaps filled with Kistal Klear. All painted and final decals applied.
All in all a great build for me, this actually is my first 'new' Airfix kit and I really enjoyed the build. I hit a few snags but was able to get help from other Seafire builds to ensure I was looking at things the right way. Will definitely look forward to future Airfix models.
Thanks to Louis Gardner @lgardner for administering this group as I would not have built this kit so soon if not for the Korean War GB.
Also thanks to Tom Cleaver @tcinla for the great history background of the No. 800 NAS and the important contribution of the Squadron so early in the conflict. Honestly did not know the significance in which was originally a search for a unique contribution to the GB.
Soon to be in the Headlines, thanks to all who followed the build - gotta remember to take more photos along the way.
