Airfix 1/48 Seafire FR.46

Post by MightyDraw »

I hope its ok for an American from the west coast to partake in this British SIG (kidding of course!)

I've had this kit a while and this seems like a good reason to build it. Ive found a few problems in the parts already.... Lets hope I can rectify them. I also have an aftermarket canopy not pictured that I purchased after realizing the kit provided one was less than crystal clear. I will be building the FR.46 variant and using kit decals, I really like the all blue with yellow tail scheme provided with the kit.

I also have a Fujimi British Phantom Ive been looking forward to building.... Maybe I can get both done?! No likely but I can dream.

We'll let you in as long as you promise to have tea and crumpets twice a day and say 'jolly good show' and 'well done old chap' when you compliment the other builds in the SIG :lol:

I'm building the Kinetic Sea Harrier so see you around the build threads Sir (or should I say 'Dude').
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Cool build topic
I would think you have to say "Alluuuumineeeeum" a whole bunch as you build, just to get the British juices flowing.
Throw in a bunch of 'mate' and the odd 'oi' and you will be golden.
Please note that being Canadian, I am immune to such regulations due to Commonwealth affiliations :tongue:

Good luck on your build,Mate ;)
