Awesome finish Shaun! I have this kit too - hope I can make such a good job of it as you have.

Many thanks, Stu and I'm sure you'll be able to do a good job of it. The only real shortcomings I experienced related to fiddly fit in some areas, but I accept that could be down to me and the decals, some of which showed a marked reluctance to stay on the model once dried and none of them reacted well to my favoured Microscale solutions in that they refused to really draw down onto the surface of the model to give that "painted on" look. Colour density and register were fine though.

I come and go depending on 'Life Stuff' getting in the way, but I always check the builds in the Aviation section even if I don't always have time to type a response.

It's always good to see you on the boards mate.

Eyeing this one up in me stash as we speak wierdly.

I have done two of 'em already TBH,one as a Seafire F.46,(simple job)t'other as a Seaf.FR.47(not so simple job)
and thought it high time I used one to do a 22.

Nice work Shaun and correct about the finish,it wasn't NMF but painted silver dope.
You could see him thinking "Bleedin'pilots,don't know nuffin.All glammer" He's probably right.

Many thanks, Miggers. I enjoyed this build and it is one of my relatively rare OOB efforts.
