Here we have Airfix's 1/48 Supermarine Seafire F.XVII.

It's my first time building a Spitfire or seafire.

I chose the No. 800 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Triumph, 1947 scheme as i liked the full upper surface as the Extra Dark Sea Grey.


Kit Manufacture: Airfix (A06102).

Type: Supermarine Seafire F.XVII.
Extras used: OOB + scratch seat belts.
Paints and colours used: Upper surface is My Hobby Aqueous H333, Extra Dark sea Grey. Lower is Tamiya XF-21 Sky. Cockpit was 50/50 of Tamiya XF-69 Nato Black and XF-71 Cockpit Green. The exhausts stacks were Tamiya XF-84 dark Iron and dry brushed with Mr Hobby Iron metalizer. Primer was the the Badger Stynlrez grey.
