Never seen the above interesting photo before - Wonder if he's waiting in anticipation for the next Laminer Flow release announcement ? Rgrds Jon

Stunning take on this old kit Tom - Love the subtle weathering and yes totally agree the old kits can be great fun to build / and include your own improvements, also cheaper and a refreshing change from hundreds of parts and tens of sprues. Rgds Jon

Grey matter did a Mk XII conversion in its own right. But you could additionally get the Seafire MK III conversion to do an 'A' frame arrester hook Seafire MK XV. Or they also did the stinger arrested hook separately for the later XV. That odd you mentioning GM Mike, I was just thinking yesterday wonder who took over their moulds / stoke etc. Does anybody know ? But yes great news I will have to have one of these too - for RCAF Seafire XV .

If you are interested in the Belgian air force, DACO decals do an interesting sheet of post war MK IXs and high and low back XIV trainers. Available direct from them or Hannants UK. Also if you want an RAF scheme just use Xtradecal 1/48 scale C / C1 roundels which larger examples on the sheet overlap with 1/32 scale, done that a few times. For the serials they do a generic 1/32 scale sheet . Rgrds jon

Very nice conversion and finish of an interesting Spitfire mark ! Rgrds jon

At last, this will be the one for me .. or two. jon

That's reasonable Dennis for such a large amount of resin and everything else that's gone in to it. Should be a similar amount in £s then. May I ask does he have any images yet of the high back version - which is the one I will be holding out for. Not that there would be much difference just a new fin to allow for the different fin fillet angle. Rgds jon

Thats most interesting Max and Thank you once again ! rgrds jon

Hello Mozart, may I enquire what is the concept re Prym ? As opposed to EZ line, which I have had good results with. Rgds jon

What a productive afternoon that would have been . Rgds jon

Hello all have been in contact with Espen Tjetland of Attitude Aviation (buchonscalelmodels.com) a time or two. The fine gentleman was considering a possible Spitfire Mk 14 conversion for the new Airfix Spitfire IX. He is still considering the project but states very obviously that the venture would be very expensive about £4000. And the project would rely on good sales of existing products. Which is totally understandable. Perhaps interested parties on this site could help persuade him I certainly would be up for a couple ! Rgrds Jon

I'm not complaining either, I think the Spitfire Mk21 with contra prop and broad chord rudder is the most amazing spit type conceived . rgds jon

Okeydocky rgrds jon

Its a little further on than that. rgds Jon

Japanese aircraft not normally my thing, but this looks really something, could be tempted. Its interesting how 1/35 is becoming a scale for aircraft in its own wright as opposed to just something to entice armour modellers. rgds jon
