  2. I fancy a 1/48 scale one but imagine the room needed 5-6 feet? Just worked it out 222 feet wing span at 1/48 is 4.6 feet. OC.

  5. Lou - Mark, a facinating chap I talk to on twitter he is a Vet and aclaimed writter - https://cherrieswriter.com/ Here is a rather fetching pic from him. OC.
  6. I guess its different if you are painting the Hull like I did - then it wouldn't matter so much. OC.
  7. Do you know what I would do Mark? mix up some saw dust past and rub that in, let it dry completley then do a bit of light sanding, the saw dust/pva would fill the gaps and sanding would blend then in and smooth out any rough bits or high spots. OC.
  8. This is the scheme I am going for - its an all over the top and sides EDSG with lower Sky, a Single Roundel on the fuselage with a Red letter 0, on the tail will be the normal flash and with roundels ontop and underneath the wings, this was a test scheme the Navy brought in before it was applied to the newer Seafires in 1945. Its the lower one out of the Three, also thease are the latter model of Seafire with the Griffin engine mine has the earlier Merlin. OC.

The only White paint i have the the Admiralty paints Acrylic in white. OC.

  11. Loving those invasion stripes/bands, it had past my mind on mine as one of the schemes - but mine would have had to be painted on by hand using dull white Acrylic paint, so I decided no to bother. OC.
  12. Done a bit of art work in Paint added the squadron codes I will put on here - OC.
