	Lovely job Darren, I think from memory that is the Airfix kit back dated isn't it? Cheers Darren Rule 1. Cardio, Rule 2. Beware of Bathrooms, Rule 3. Seatbelts, Rule 4. Doubletap...

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Thanks Darren Its an Airfix kit all right, not backdated though, I added a few bits here and there to try and make it more realistic. This is their Mk.I boxing, I have the MK.II or FA.2 in my stash. It is an improvement on the first kit as it has a new engraved panel line fuselage. I plan to re-scribe the wings and put a resin cockpit in it. It'll take a lot of work, so that one is for a future date. I have some other FAA projects in the works, the Hellcat for this GB, then a Corsair then a FG.1 Phantom. I'm sure they will keep me busy for a while! Regards, Darren. C.A.G. FAA/USNFAW GB

	Superb! Rick, they are great! I wish I had them on my display shelf, you should be very proud of them. All three are very well done indeed. Thanks for letting have a look. Regards, Darren. C.A.G. FAA/USNFAW GB

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	I am in awe every time I see your work Rick! BTW I seem to remember you doing a sea fury in the markings of one of the Colonies not too long ago. Some people here would probably like to see that too even though it is not FAA. Dave

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	I'm going to have to order something for this build. Can anyone give me a list of MM acryl colors appropriate for FAA subjects? I might as well order them when I order the kits. I will probably be doing a WW2 or early cold war period aircraft, a Gannett or Wyvern are the likely candidates, although a Wildcat or Swordfish are not out of the running. http://www.geocities.com/cnf_e32/index.htm http://www.scalefirehouse.com/

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	I use Humbrol enamels myself, but looking through the latest Squadron flyer, I think the colours most useful will be: Polyscale Acrylics-- Extra Dark Sea Grey....FS36118 Dark Slate Grey..........FS34096 Sky...........................FS34504 These can be used for the RN WWII camo schemes. Later post war schemes were ususally Extra dark sea grey/white. Hope this helps, Darren. Regards, Darren. C.A.G. FAA/USNFAW GB

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Rick that is positively awesome work and that Sea Fury is probably my favourite of all the builds you've posted on this site, great job Aaron, I may be wrong on this but I don't know if Model Master has all of the colors you will need for a FAA bird. You may have to revert to mixing several shades together. By the way, is it April yet???? Darren Rule 1. Cardio, Rule 2. Beware of Bathrooms, Rule 3. Seatbelts, Rule 4. Doubletap...

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Aaron, I don't think model master acrylics have the Extra Dark Sea Grey or the Slate grey but they do have the Sky. However Floquil which I believe is also made by testors does have all these colours in acrylic and are available from Great models and I would assume most online stores. I have used both MM and Floquil acrylics and they are very similar. Here are the Floquil numbers Extra Dark Sea Grey 36118 Dark Slate Grey 34096 Sky 34504 Dave

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Hmmm... seeing those awesome aircraft is kinda puttin' me in the mood for this GB. I would be interested in doing a 1/48 Tamiya Corsair, if someone could point me in the right direction for modifying the wingtips to represent a FAA version. Frank
