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 Grin

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 Wink

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. Roll Eyes

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. Wink

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 Wink

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 Grin
