PROJECT:
REVELL (ex SpecialHobby) 1/48 Supermarine Seafire Mk. XV
No. 806 Naval Air Squadron
HMS Glory
British Pacific Fleet
September 1946
Hello all.
Normally, Im rarely seen in the plane corner. But its an aircraft forum and we have a '46 aircraft GB going on, right?!
I guess you know enough about that real classic plane called "Spitfire". Revell just reboxed the old SpecialHobby kit - so this should be a good start.
A few words about the quality: Its very good in shape (good panel lines, rivets etc.) but it has loads of flashes and the connection points are somehow awful in certain areas. Nothing a bit of patience and a sharp scalpel blade could solve, though. The cockpit has been started and will get some PE parts later (Eduard, Art.No. 49583). Those are meant for the Airfix F.XVII S.A. kit, but should fit here as well.
The first shots:
Those holes arent there and were drilled by hand:
Naaaaaarf!
No PE parts needed...
