Thank you Mark. OC.

Just had a cheeky peep at the first couple of Grey layers I sprayed on the other day - looking nice, love the way the panel lines really show through the paintwork - love this Eduard kit. OC.

Do you know Phil, some people build a kit using normal routines and straight forward precedures, then someone like yourself says "heck that - that aint enough - I want to put my own stamp on it" that is what you are doing - its not just boat building or even scratch building, its Artistry my friend. Keep going this is a Special build. OC.

1/48 Seafire Mk. III (Late)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Hello again, A bit more progress on this - this evening I dry fitted the wings to fuselag, and after doing a bit of filing/sanding - I glued them into place, not quite as good a fit as the Eduard kit - so it will need a bit of filling with putty here and there. No pics as the phone was charging. OC. -
Thank you Ken, into the last round now. OC.

Evening All, in between working on the Seafire I found the time to check over mossie to see how the flat coats had gone especially over that troubled area we all know well, then answer is Fine, no issues atb all the top spray put on in a couple of fine sprays did the job. Here are two pics just showing "that troubled area" as it is now. OC.

Good day all, more work fiddling around in the machine gun box - I fiited a couple of runs of fine fuse wire to represent wiring, also I fitted a larger piece of tubing and a bracing strip. OC.

20mm and a 0.5inch Browning in total Two 20mm Hispano canons and Four 0.5Inch Brownings, the round box shown is just the feed, the Ammo cases were further to the side under the wing in armour plated covers, and fed on a chain. OC. -
I have that sorted when I go out - Flame thrower does the job fine.🤭 OC.

No worries, will look forward to what ever you build mate. OC.

Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Hi all, so today I was "multi tasking - shhhh cant let the admiral hear I struggle looking at the hoover as it is" I first put the first grey coat down on the Spit, then put it away in my box to dry, then the second bit - I decided to work on the Seafire, in the kit you have the choice to display the wing guns open through an open panel, I decided this would be good on the one wing, first I struggled to understand the instructions as it wasn't clear how the machine guns and feed units go, they come into two different types of assemblies, after going to Mr Google to check out some pics - I found out how they fit together. I first put a few coats of cockpit green down, and while at it did the same to the wheel wall and well bottoms, next job was to put some nato black on the machine guns, then when dry (with hairdryer again) I dry brushed some white over them. I finished off by gluing the wings together. OC.
