Mini Seafire

Remember a topic called Identity Crisis? Nice Mr. Hagar posted this photo of Seafires in the Med.

I'm currently building examples of as many different types of Seafire as I can either buy or convert from other Spits. Hagar's photo gave me the inspiration for my MkIb. So whilst I've been off work, I built this. Thanks Mr. Hagar ;D

Vickers Supermarine Seafire MkIb MB345 (formally Spitfire MkVb AR445) Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, 885 NAS, HMS Formidable, Mediterranean, February 1943.
Built from the Airfix Spitfire Vc/Seafire LIIIc 1/48 scale kit.

Fantastic work Roger, I just hope my model looks equally good ;)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Very nice indeed Tempest old chap. It's good to know that I do give people inspiration at times. ::) :D

PS. What's with the Mr Hagar all of a sudden? I've been called all sorts of things in my time but Mr is not usually among them. It makes me feel old & I'm not used to it. ;)

Ditto.  I'm constantly amazed at the detail and accuracy that plastic modellers achieve with their work

At least in Spanish (and possibly other languages) we can call you "Hagarito" as a diminutive.

Note to others:  Instead of calling Hagar "Mr." a simple "Your Eminence" will do.

I was just going by the title of Craigs topic in the Cafe Mr. Hagar old chap ;)

Thanks for the comments chaps, I put a lot of work into this and spent a good few hours researching my subject.
Next off the "Hawker" production line will be a Sea Fury FB 11 in 1/48 scale. Watch this space ;D
