Started this at the last playday. Slow progress while I'm trying to finish the Rooivalk.
This appears to be a new manufacturer from Ukraine. Mouldings look pretty reasonable with a fair amount of detail
Clear Prop have been around for a while Chris, but you've probably only just become aware of them. I haven't built one if their kits so look forward to your build and any comments.
I remember the old Airfix Seasprite, but this one looks really detailed.
Watching with interest.
Cabin complete. On next with the fuselage.
Fuselage almost togther. Had a mishap when trying the assembly the first time I broke the seating. Trying a different tack now with the seat bulkhead now fixed to the roof.
Isn't it great how we have to adapt from what the instructions say? Still, it adds to the fun.
More of tbe fuselage assembled.
Looks great. I too am a lover of the old rubber band to hold things tight.
Looking very much like a Seasprite now.

Yes a lump hammer sorts out most problems yoho yoho
Looks great Chris. I built a couple of these many, many years ago when Airfix bought it out.

Nearly there. Some bits of filling to do then masking.
Getting there.
Two coats of red applied. I think it may need another.
Looking rather sunburnt!
Joking apart coming along nicely, red is always a hard colour to get an even all over finish, but you'll do it.
Well done.
A new red. The original red looked too dark over the grey primer so I reprimed it with white and used a bighter red (which has a hint of orange: Humbrol 60) - more like the photos.
Very red now.
Cor blimey, where's me sunglasses!
Looks very intense Red now.
Shades of Humbrol Fire Red perhaps?
