Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this one, I personally think it might’ve been my best to date but be sure to let me know what you think! For a ten-year-old kit, I was impressed, to say the least. See you next time!

Very nice work!!
Great video. I'm building the same kit right now and loved the weathering pencil work you've done here
Another outstanding model. Thanks for sharing your work. I envy your production rate.
Too bad they made the panel lines too deep and coarse…
Otherwise you did a very good job on it.
A fantastic build, 😃 and a great save on the paint, if it were me, the kit would probably ended up in pieces against the nearest wall. Also it appears that Airfix have a new? plastic it doesn't look like the soapy blue/grey that the other Spits are molded in.And I agree about the weathering pencils they are fantastic.
Excellent work. I was in two minds about getting this kit – you never know what you're going to get with older Airfix kits, but this one looks good, so it will be added to the Spitfire stash.
Looks great 🎉
Great build. How about a Tamiya f35 next? : )
Great work love fleet arm models and paint schemes
My grandfather has commented that this looks very authentic. He was onboard HMS Indefatigable in the 2nd world war. Later planes that graced the flightdeck were seafire and sea fury aircraft. Thank you for the video.
Good to see your weathering techniques. Have not used the pencils but encouraged to give it a try. Many thanks
Nice bit of modelling. Just the right amount of weathering. Superb finish.
Very nice build Luke!
With your comments about the EDSG, ours is mixed to the real formula for BS640. It has been mentioned a couple of times that it could be too blue, but as it is mixed to the formula, we are confident that it is correct and does look right to us when we see it painted on models, specifically the two toned EDSG/Forest Green camo patterns.
What masking tape do you use I’ve seen many modellers use it and it looks very good so I may buy it but I don’t know the name 😅
A(nother) Spitfire variant from Airfix!
Really nice Seafire 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻 This era of FAA aircraft colour schemes are amongst my very favourite and it really suits the Seafire, to my mind. Nice job, matey…..
really nice job. Personally that fly did you a favor as she looks much more striking in EDSG over sky camo!
Very nice mate. That SMS edsg looks ok actually but my personal go to is MRP-114, it’s great, probably my favourite MRP colour.
❤❤😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎉😁👍🤗💯 very nice kit fighter plane Seafire RAF nice build of this aircraft. Besides the Spitfire.
Buy some AK interactive paint for slate gray.
Save your money – TAMIYA
Very well done! That finish is absolutely perfect, can't wait for the next one!
So cool 🛩
This model looks fantastic , the usual amount of quality. As for me personally, a UK aircraft fanatic, I prefer AK real colors , I discovered them two years ago, and they are excellent, especially the EDSG. I'm sure your next build will be the Gannet weeks before it's even distributed!
I feel you on finding the right colour. When you get it first try you feel like a stud. But when you still can’t figure it out ooh boy.
Great video. Interesting comment on SMS Extra Dark Sea Grey. I used this on my RAN Firefly last year and thought, yep, too blue. However, under a couple of coats of gloss varnish and a final coat of VMS Matt Varnish it lost that blue and looked very much like EDSG.
Such a nice paint scheme on the Sea Fire
Another exceptional build and video Luke! I have tried the AK RAF Dark Sea Grey for my Firefly build but like you said, its still not looking perfect. I think its the strong contrast going against the RAF SKy.
Absolutely stunning build! Your weathering is phenomenal. The colors turned out really nice. Very impressive!
Awesome work as always Luke 👏 makes me want one 😀
Nice work again. Regarding the paints this is what I use Asks RAF Day Fighter 3G pack. Very nice paint. The grey seems pretty accurate as is the dark green
Nice to see it at the club on Tuesday
Looks fantastic, lovely work.
Canopy didn't fit well because of the gap in the fuselage that you created with poor assembly technique. Filling in the gap with super glue is amateur stuff. Good weathering though.
Pretty model – the flaps shouldn’t be down on the ground on any parked Spit or Seafire as that was a quick way to lose your pneumatic pressure. If you really want to do that then the little doors in the upper surface of the wing should be open to allow the ends of the jacks to protrude.
Horizontal stabiliser would be the tailplane for British viewers.
Really nice done I love the hollowed out exhausts great job with the Weathering ❤
The Seafire XVII is, in my opinion, probably the best looking of the Spitfire/Seafire series, I really wish Airfix would consider downscaling this kit to 1/72 to help fill a gap in the 1/72 Spitfire/Seafire market.
Exhausts stacks do need darkening and rusting
Brilliant build as always. How did you manage to get that drill bit to your dremel?
