CL, the variety you have never ceases to amaze! These are some pretty neat subjects, well done, nice weathering/camo. All a bit odd, but the Barracuda is my favorite, I think. Would not want to be responsible for cleaning that canopy.

I am kinda partial to the Firefly myself

Nice collection of seldom seen Fleet Air Arm birds.

Very nicely weathered models and a delightful change from the usual land based aircraft that are popular with model builders.

Captain Eric Brown described flying those aircraft in his book:

A very interesting and entertaining book by a prolific and very knowledgeable writer.

What paints did you use and were the decals from the kits?

they all were build OOB with box decals.

Revell has a good sky for bottom, gray is mixed from 77 and 74 and green is 310 with 65. all colors are lighted and dark shaded.

It is fun for my to build some not often seen models and I think I am not alone
