Here is a photo of the finished model together with the Swordfish and the Wildcat on the AIRFIX CLUB box..

.
Now for the Seafire

I enjoyed making this Seafire. I was glad that I used the original kit wings and NOT the new engraved ones. The model went together quite well but the arrestor hook assembly required a bit of work to make it fit snugly. The model is made using the kit parts including the new undernose oil cooler. Fit was pretty good. The model is brush painted with Hu224, Hu123 and Hu90, several coats of Klear (Future) and then one good coating of Mattcote to finish. The decals were perfect and went on well. One small detail (not really visible in the photos) was the addition of a rear view mirror on the windscreen upper frame. I made this from a small rectangle of wine bottle foil cyano-ed on. The canopy frames were from thin strips of pre-painted decal film. I tried to use two strips to show a line between the hood and the windscreen
Hope you like the pictures.
Best
Ron.
