Need little feedback on chipping before I go any further.
I think fuse and wing root look OK, just not sure about wing access panels.

Sweet, im amazed how real the paintwork looks in those.

The weathering looks good to me, im not an expert though.

Whenever you get around to it, we could probably use another ETO Seafire IIc as well, since we just have the default, and the Normandy one. Dunno whats on your plate. I find the custom jobs always look better than the defaults.

Thx for "Betty" she looks great.

:aok

Try it without any solid lines i.e. panel lines, subtle rivits only and vary the spacing depending on panel line or field rivit.

Looks nice so far from what I can tell.:aok

For the ETO one would this do (just been testing, sharkmouth is a 'mare' because of stretching)

Im liking it. Not that picky, we only have 2 custom skins now for the Seafires, anything to add to that would be welcome. My own pref is Seafire IIc skins since thats what we have, but I like the sub skins as well (Seafire LIIc and Seafire III).

Hi Kev

Holy Mackerel, mate, you do great work.  I never cease to be amazed with the work you and the others do with these skins.  Please keep it up.

I just have one question.  It seems to me that the roundels you have on this seafire are RAF SEAC.  That is, roundel center is blue.  Royal Navy SWPA roundels had white centers.  I may be wrong.  WWII Allied markings was one of my hobbies for years.  However, at my age now, I forget a lot of what I once knew.

Anyway, great work and many thanks.

Sure your not thinking of the later Pacific Fleet roundels?

Ones I did were described as dark blue and "India White" (Pale Blue).

Both versions on this page (2nd and 3rd)-

Hi Kev

I have tried to send you some material concerning roundels on SWPA FAA and SEAC RAF.  But, files are too big.  Not a computer whiz, will try to figure how to make scans smaller.  Anyway, you may find that RAF SEAC roundels were made smaller using light blue, dark blue.  FAA same thing except using White and dark Blue.  FAA in 1945 used larger blue and white roundels with tabs similar to USN.

I have an extensive library dating back to the 1960's on Allied Markings.  Having lived through WWII (Dad a Navy Pilot) have been interested all my life.

However, that withstanding, you have again done a very nice job on this skin.

Please keep up the good work.
