Evening all - hope everyone is ok, so it continues - next stage is the cockpit seat assembly, same build really as my other spit, rear bulkhead/armour plate/seat/base/pedals and columb, these were glued together then I did a bit of magic - dry fitted the assembly inside the fuselage. No secret it pops in from underneath. OC. -

1/48 Seafire Mk. III (Late)
Old Collingwood replied to Old Collingwood's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Evening all, I did a bit more work this evening - firstly I removed the tape and checked the seams, these needed just a bit of sanding (but no filler I dont think) this was a supprise to find two companies who manage to build kits with quite high build standards - it also makes my first observations what I first started to build this kist (in my earlier build log - Not Eduard one) as being incorect. Anyway next off was to fit the prop cone bulkhead, then when set I had to fix one of the exhausts stcks that had broken in two, this was fixed then glued in place in the recess - same the other side, then I got the engine cover and test fitted it, quite a bit of scraping and sanding was needed to get a good fit - then this was glued down. It needs sanding and cleaning up whne its set. So here are a couple of pics including one of my Supermarine prod line. OC. -

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
