WTD: Kitbits/Final Touch Seafire FR47

[The Wooksta!]

Commonly known as THE WORST SEAFIRE KIT EVER!, I'm looking for one or more of these.

The tail surfaces are too short, the wings the wrong shape and there are many, many other problems with it but the fuselage is salvagable with effort and some home cast resin parts.  Well, a lot really!  New radiators, tail surfaces, wings, u/c, props, etc.  Anyway, after all the salvage work, it 'll do nicely as a Spitfire FR26 for my Alternate Spitfire line up.

If you've one of these pieces of garbage cluttering up your stash, why not put it out of your misery and give it to me?

So, why do you want it Lee???

[The Wooksta!]

Because it's a challenge!  The one I've got on the go is looking promising and I'd like to give it another spin.

I've a pair of wings, a pair of tailplanes, the Griffonny bit and probably a few other bits you can have - will bring them to Telford.
'THE WORST SEAFIRE KIT EVER'?  It wasn't that good.  Felt like sueing and/or administering violence to Mr Final Touch when mine finally arrived through the post.  'Final Touch'?  More like final straw!

Mr Final Touch was an individual called Dennis Ives, who has such a reputation I shouldn't need to explain further but my solicitors advise against it anyway.

Cheers, Dave.  I think I may try combining the wings with an Attacker to do a Jet Spitfire at some stage.  I've already got a modded Attacker to do it.

I did build one using some of the kit parts but used some of my own cast tail surfaces.  It's an awful model and I hate it but want to finish it to prove that it can be done!  It's currently sitting in primer awaiting a coat of PRU Blue as a Spitfire PR25.

Joe Cherrie has my copy of the Seafire somewhere in his dungeon awaiting casting, can swap or trade it with you if you wish once he has worked on it?
