1/48 Airfix Supacat Jackal

I like the look of this vehicle, sort a modern day version of the Chevy trucks the LRDG used in 1941. I finished this April 2015.

The Kit 

• 1/48 Airfix Jackal
  
  The kit is quite complex in it's breakdown, get one thing wrong and throws the rest of the kit out. Plus adding all the aftermarket resulted in a complicated build.

1/48 Eduard (Airfix) Spitfire Mk 22 No 607(County of Durham) Sqn

I finished this one in 2014. It was a quick build for me, only 4 weeks from beginning to end. I really enjoyed building this and not being to anal about the finish.

Aircraft is from No 607(County of Durham) Sqn RauxAF Cooper Trophy Air Race 1948

The Kit

• Eduard Boxing of the Airfix Kit
  
  At the time this was the best Airfix kit I'd built. The Hurricane Mk 1 perhaps shades it now.. but thats open to debate. The moulding and fit is as good as any of the Hasegawa kits I've built perhaps bar the F-2A.

Aftermarket

• Cockpit - Aires

• Exhausts - Aires 
• Eduard PE (came in the box).
• Canopy - Squadron Vacuform (for a Seafire Mk 47, but it looks close enough to me ).
• Rocker covers spinner and prop blades - Barracuda Cast

• Exhausts and Gun covers - Quickboost 
• Antenna - Broom bristle

Decals

• From the box but Cartograf printed

Paint

• Mr colour Lacquers
• Clear Coats: Testors Gloss, and Dullcoate

Weathering

• Pastels, Tamiya Weathering seats and Pigments
  
  I kept weathering to a minimum to keep the build process short.
