nickdanger Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Cool! I've been wanting to try that kit. Are you going to build it with one or more wings bent? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grandboof Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Not this one . The master plan as to eventually build a diorama like the box art with a second one behind with bent wings. Research time coming to find a serial and code for second aircraft for the same squadron same time. Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stefan buysse Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Hi, Yeah, now and then there is a problem with a paint job...my Mk Va looks as if there are barnacles on the wingroots now. I'll try to polish that out. Good luck with the Seafire. Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
