Just a rather quick build of a new airfix kit. I've wanted to build one of these late-model seafires for quite some time now. This thing with its contra-rotating props and 20mm Hispano -cannons is ,in my opinion, what a real fighter should look like. B)

The underside is still missing couple of lenses and a piece of flap which I managed to misplace.

Afterall, the kit wasn't quite as good as I had expected. It hat a lot of well detailed parts, but the fuselage halves were badly warped and were a huge hassle to glue together properly, and the landing gear were a bit fiddly as well.

Looks good! The 1/24 Airfix Typhoon looks like it will be awesome in the detail dept. when it comes out.
