                        Looking forward to pics soon Sean.

                        The last of the paint work on the MS 406 is complete, I just need to add one more decal, then gloss coat before applying a sludge wash, then it's a matt coat followed by panel shading and weathering. I'll be so glad when this build is finished!Big Smile [:D]

                        I'll post some pics later in the week.

                        Good to see your close to the finish line Tweets The 129 is one of my favourite A/C for some reason, probably because it looks so mean and destructive so i'm looking forward to seeing yours all doneThumbs Up [tup]

                        Ok, the 129 has been flat coated with my custom mix and now I just need to stick on the props and wheel covers, and a tad bit of weathering and she should be done.

                        Flat coat washed the sand camo out a bit, but then again I cant imagine that it was applied very heavy anyways.

                        Pics in the next couple of days I hopeBig Smile [:D]

                        Best of luck to you Tom, I hope everything is OK.

                        I know it's late but I really have lost interest in that bloody Daimler Armoured Car again. I did start Hasegawa's F4F-4 about a month ago though, and will forge ahead with that in Operation Torch markings.
                        Actually, it was when I built the old Frog Wildcat in Torch markings back in the mid seventies that I first took a shine to Wildcats, so this is deja vu - sortof.
                        I'll post a progress pic shortly.
                        Cheers
                        Tony

                        I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

                        The radio here was reporting 100 mile traffic jams on the main roads away from the coast, sounds pretty tough out there at the moment.

                        thnaks guys... looks like the worst of the wind will be passing us by but it will still be pretty high (80 mph or so) hopefully the trees all fall the right direction and miss my house! we're a bit nervous to say the least, but as far as flooding we have no real worries, we sit 38 feet above sea level and they almost drained the entire lake today (it's dammed) in preperation for this...

                        will post again soon!!!!

                        Spayed the black and white on the underside of the wings on Sunday, now need to touch in the blue around the wing to fuselage seam this weekend, followed by a coat of Future for the last decal, a roundel on the port wing. I might just get this done by the 12th October at this rate.

                        Hasn't helped I've been working on a warm-up build to a warm-up build for the BfG GB!

                        yeah I think I was confused Jules... I reread and saw you put seaplane, I guess I insterted spitfire in by myself... hmmm dunno if they have that one... it would be a shame not to, as that was the craft that ultimately led to the spitfire becoming what it did...

                        Jules I think Tom and myself are getting this mixed up with the Spitfire float plane, which is what Trumpeter make, and what I was waffling on about.

                        Not sure who makes a kit in anything other than 1/72 though.

                        How would you convert a Spitfire into thisQuestion [?] The conversion must give you new fues halves and wings or it just wouldn't work......

                        Yeah 1/24 is a little big for my tastes and 1/72 too small, But a resin conversion of the Tamiya Spit has me thinking, mostly about what Spit parts are used cause the 2 A/C look nothing alike despite the family connection.....

                        I'm pretty sure sure there's a conversion kit out there for the Tamiya 1/48 Spit. Resin floats and wheel bay plugs if memory serves me.

                        Jules - the only practical one is the 1/24 Trumpeter... Eastern Express makes it in 1/72, but I have heard some bad things about the Eastern Euro companies... maybe you can get some better input on that company from someone else... pity that don't have that one in 1/48 I wouldnt mind doing one myself... Maybe someone else knows of another manufacturer in 1/48

                        Yeah there is. I forget which company makes it but im sure i saw models of the seaplane and something called the supermarine seafire.

                        Speaking of "Fringe" I was having a read last night about the evolution of the Spitfire and i all of a sudden took a liking to the Supermarine Seaplane, Now i'm wondering if a model exists of it........

                        Rick I hope so!

                        Dave It'll end up looking like the b@stard offspring of a Dewoitine and Hurricane!

                        Tom I learnt 'Art de la Fringe' from the expert!Wink [;)] I think the 'hardship' has been mostly self inflicted, a little bit more thought here and there, like not buying the kit in the first place, would have helped.

                        Sean Don't sell yourself short, I'm sure the squiggle will look stunning.

                        I'm off to apply the black & white now, the paint that is, not the whisky.
