  1. Really nice build denis and the paint finish looks really good. OC.
  2. Another good music lover - Avalon - Roxy Music....... OC.
  3. I get you bro, some flaps have actuation hinges also - that in itself could be a headache as they would be different from the in flight flush versions. OC.
  4. Yep, can build possibly every SHAR from the decal sheet. OC.
  5. A bit more progress this evening multi tasking with my Spit build (I know easy tiger) anyway I did a bit of tidy up including buffing the paintwork and also I thought it would be good to bring out the panel lines by re-gauging with my fine panel line tool. Family pic with my Spit. OC.
  6. Evening all, I got round to de-masking the IX today - it didn't turn out too bad, the green areas are now ok, as I want to shown a well used version with ware patches and paint fading - I decided to add these areas now, the Grey also needed touching up but first I had to mix up a shade as close to the rattle can Grey as possible (this isn't easy as we know) I reached a shade as close as possible, when this has fully hardened I will buff the finish to get a satin scheen. OC.
  7. I would need a super long garden for all that - but nice idea though. OC.
  8. Thank you kindly, its Tamiya AS-27 from thier rattle can range have read its very close to EDSG. OC.
  9. This is a different mk of seafire but its the same colour scheme I am trying to replicate - think its the same? Pic off the net. OC.
  10. I.m really impressed with how that has gone - you can see how it has changed and how it has become a really shiny - great stuff bro. OC.
  11. No, the door on the cupboard does a good enough job to keep the smell inside. OC.
  12. Hi Harley, I use Tamiya Laquer Rattle cans for my painting, and during the drying process they give off quite a smell (the term for the his drying is called de-gasing) basically when the smell has gone they are ready to be handled. OC.
  13. Evening all, masks are off - needs a bit of touch up but fairly pleased how its turned out. OC.
  14. I agree with Ken bro, your showing the stages step by step - thats a great help. OC.
  15. I used it purely by chance - what is also good about it - you can shape it like putty using a scalpel blade to get it to fit nice a snug around the exhaust stacks. OC.
  16. Respect to you bro for doing these tests - its will be of help not just to your own build but others also. OC.
  17. Hi all, Right I finished off the masking and checked it over a few times - then I took it outside and gave it a few coats of RAF Green, its currently in the cupboard with the Seafire de-gasing. OC.
  18. Hi all, Right the Dark Sea Grey top coat is on - its currently de-gasing in the cupboard. OC.
  19. I like what you have done - its not easy (I tried it years ago on a Phantom - it didn't turn out too good)👍 OC.
