Just started a golden oldie which was originally a 1964 Frog tooling. As you can imagine, this is a very basic model with little detail and LOTS of flash. 🙂
After doing a bit of sanding on the fuselage, Vallejo Model Air interior grey green added. 🙂

Fuselage together, wings and tail plane added. A bit of filler here and there added. Fit of the wings is not great but seem ok now. 🙂

Nice progress. Hope you won't get too much trouble from the canopy.

Sprayed with Vallejo gloss and then added decals. The Eastern Express decals weren't that bad at all, they moulded in with the rivets etc. 🙂

In my teens I tried so hard to find this kit without success. I shall follow your progress with interest.

Propellor and canopy fitted. (The canopy was not a good fit at all). Matt varnish added. Rigging added finally.
I now declare the Skua completed.

Quite nice ! A little more light on the model would do wonders for the photographs 😉

The Skua just got such a somewhat strange shape, you gotta love it.
Nice work on this bird, Guy. 👍

I have an impression that strange look was a trademark of Blackburn designs. Take a look at Blackburn "Blackburn" (sic!) or Blackburn Blackburd 😄

The Firebrand was quite handsome when compared to others, and could boast its huuuge fin LOL 😄
