  1. A Fairey Gannet, in particular, or any other A/C with contra rotating airscrews, such as the  Westland Wyvern, would be most appreciated giving us a chance to use twin electric power. Failing this perhaps an A/C, preferably naval, which is not already availlable as plans, a kit or ARTF. 
  2. My A/C will be electric as are all of my other A/C.  Have been using Prymol, which is designed for etching plastic, for some years with no ill effect.  As my preference is for Naval Aircraft the tendency is to buy the paint by the 1/2 litre which costs £9.40, however smaller quantities are availlable with a match pot costing about  £1 which is enough to paint several A/C. Scratch built A/C are normally covered in silver or grey film etch primed and then painted. So far have built, covered, primed and painted a Firefly, Sea Mosquito,Sea Fury,FW190 and aTA154 using this method with acrylics and enamels as well as numerous foamies using emulsions. The  only difficulty as yet unsolved is that of producing lettering and decals. At present am still using Leteraset
  3. Returning to the subject of repainting the Sea Fury, Am intending to give mine a light wipe over with primol and repaint with acrylic paint. Paint used on British Military Aircraft is to British Standard Colours, those used on this aircraft being: Extra Dark Sea Grey:  BS640-381C ,  Sky: BS210-381C. Have had my paint mixed by a local paint shop but any good paint shop is able to mix BS paints in acrylic or enamel. In fact have even had emulsion,for use on foam models, mixed in match pots by B&Q.
