Chris; May I support Pellson's comments on your situation, and wish you both well in your ongoing struggles with polystyrene

Here's a couple of shots of the real world KP Seafire MK IB finished as an aircraft of 801 NAS, HMS Furious, Home Fleet, flown by Sub/Lt Peter Hutton, March 1943. Thoroughly enjoyable build even if I did conspire to screw it in a couple of places because of not reading the instructions

Very nicely done Chris.

Pellson · August 31, 2021, 07:52:36 AM

Beautiful.

Very nice!!

That bad boy is clean, I love it..... one like this but not nearly as good was one of my first airplane models as a child. Seeing this conjurs up nice memories.. I dig the exhaust.

Good job Chris.

NARSES2 · September 01, 2021, 06:09:40 AM

Thanks lads.

As said it's a very nice kit with excellent fit and quite a few fiddly very small bits. Their new tool Tempest on the other hand whilst being a very nice kit with great fit is slightly simpler when it comes to the small, fiddly pieces front, which suits me very well

NARSES2 · September 05, 2021, 05:49:42 AM

Progress on all fronts

However I had one of those "moments" with the Moonbat. I managed to get her painted, although I'm not convinced the Xtracolour used has fully dried even after 4 days

, and had decided I could live with the canopy/fuselage join. Anyway after 3 days of looking at it and going "it's alright" I decided it wasn't. So I've spent most of my modelling time this weekend working on it. I think it's almost there now and yes I do feel better inside for doing it

Pellson · September 05, 2021, 05:56:07 AM

I function similarly. If it doesn't feel 100%, it will bug me to no end, so for my own long term sanity, I need to redo it, regardless of cost/effort involved

If you feel good, then it's worth the effort, Chris!
