Aye, more from me.  Both unfinished holdovers from Telford 2016, just needed decals and minor work to finish off.

First up, post war Spitfire FR16 with the Photograhic Development Unit. Base Heller kit but with a Hasegawa prop for speed (it'll get replaced as I wanted on with  PRU Blue spinner), resin post war exhausts and 3 spoke wheels robbed from the Sword mk XIVe.



And a 607 Sqn RAuxAF Spitfire F16e with four cannon.  Airfix mk IXc but with the 3D upgrade set, giving wing gun blisters, post war exhausts and pointed rudder.  Somewhere along the line, the intended prop disappeared, so a standard Airfix IX prop was used instead.  3 spoke wheels from the Airfix PR19.

Nice pair of Spit's! :thumbsup:

Until I read the blurb, I thought the 2nd one was a post-war Aussie Navy Seafire. :rolleyes:

Like the FR 16 in particular  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

What Chris said.  :thumbsup:

And the NMF on the F16e looks superb.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Straight Halfords Gloss Aluminium.  Probably from a fresh can.  Makes all the difference.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
