spook 473 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hi all, Here my last built, a French Navy Seafire XV. I used Revell Spitfire MkIX and AA resin conversion. It's not an easy built but it's the only way to have a Seafire XV. I used Barracuda cockpit, seat and acces door : wonderful resin!!! I used Tamyia and Gunze for Sky and Gunze and M Paint for extra dark sea grey. Marking are painted (tanks Maketar) except for anchors which came from old decals. I hope you will like it! See you soon for a new built! Fanes, Aerobat, alain11 and 20 others 22 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fanes 2,195 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 C' est magnifique! That's obviously one more Spitfire version to add to my wishlist. How is the AA conversion regarding fit and clean up? Link to post Share on other sites
spook 473 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Thank you all. Fanews : the resin doesn't need a lot of cleaning, it's pretty good. Fitting the cowling is not really difficult but you need to adjust it to the Revell fuselage. The under nose piece is a little to small, so I cut it in 2 and enlarge it with plasticard. Fitting the propeller blade to the spinner need dry and fitting. I didn't use the rudder (which is exactly the same as the revell one) but you need to enlarge the tab. The exhaust are very good. For the under wing cooler, I used revell ones and not the AA ones which need lot of surgery. For me it's a good conversion which need some work but the results is great. I think I'll try the Mk XIV conversion.......one day. Kagemusha, Dany Boy, Alain Gadbois and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
crobinsonh 865 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Very nice. The French Seafires always look great. Link to post Share on other sites
dennismcc 5,444 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Nice one, the Seafire looks great in French markings, I think the dog should be a bit moer excited and barking with the snake so close, our local dog used to bark to warn us when snakes were about when we lived in Thailand. The figures really bring it to life. Cheers Dennis Link to post Share on other sites
