Sprayed the underside of the Seafire, Hu90
Funny paint this one it seperates if it's a bit thin, needed to use airbrush to dry it quicker

Oh, that looks like a nice kit. Always wanted to build a Seafire, and I'm to hear that being an AIrfix kit, it's going together well :) :thumb1:

She's looking nice already.....I just love that color scheme on the Seafire, I don't know what it is, but it really grabs my attention?! :)

Looking forward to seeing this one completed, and I think you've got me drooling enough already to buy one! :thumb1: :thumb1:

Cheers,
Martin

What are the two colors that you have used for this model, Graham? Is it the Humbrol 123 Extra Dark Sea Grey and the Humbrol 90 Beige Green?

Cheers, :cheers2:

Lovely job Graham....I really love the look of that bird.....I have to get one now. I'm looking at the FR.46/FR.47 1/48 scale version by Airfix, with the counter-rotating twin propellers. :thumb1: :thumb1: :clap: :clap:
