  1. Hello again All,    while sorting through my little box's  yesterday  for my other builds, I cam across  some scall metal (Black)  anchor chain that must have come with my other Pontos bits,  but went missing  - didn't  know I had it, anyway  "question -question"   is it worth me  removing the plastic kit chain  that was painted white, and replacing with this scale Black metal chain?

  2. Evening all,   while waiting for the Mossie to have her touch up, and the spit  to de-gas,  I decided to continue with my seafire  -  next  to work on was to paint the cockpit/seat section  - this had the normal colours applied, then a bit of shading/highlighting,  then I fitted the seat belts that was in the form of decals, after I gave the whole thing a few coats of flat top coat.

  3. A bit of an update  -  this afternoon  I masked up the top side edges  and used my Dark Sea Grey rattle can  on the underside  of the spit,  I started with a gentle mist over, gave it about Ten minutes  then built it up till it was smoothly covered, from what I could tell  there was no reaction with the Acrylic underneath.

    That's looking amazing (I toyed with the idea of getting the airfix 1/24 scale but since I've never built a decent plane decided not to) this on the other hand looks great.

    Thank you so kind,    yep its a nice kit  - has its issues that need fiddling  like the fuselage halves  joining, and the engine units  fitting them over the wing is a pain,  they need filing/sanding  and then a bit of filler.

     

    But over all  it is a nice kit.
