I'm collecting the folded-wing series.

 

The Airfix Seafire kit is one of the best Seafire kits with a complete folded-wing option. In other words, it is quite a complex kit. Not for a weekend project.

I had a big issue with Airfix decals. I used my favorite GSI-Creos Mark Softer, but it literally melted the Airfix decals. I lost the starboard side decals. 😪

 

I had nice results from the Tamiya Markfit series.

The assembly was nicely done. I had only a few polishing works.

 

Also, I'll use a gloss finish. The matte finish didn't look realistic compared with pictures from museum airplanes.

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.
