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.
I hope my next is always better

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.

Looks great. I too am a lover of the old rubber band to hold things tight.
Looking very much like a Seasprite now.
I hope my next is always better

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.

Grumpy by name and nature

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.
I hope my next is always better
