TeeELL Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I offer for your perusal, my interpretation of a Cuban Revolutionary Air Force Sea Fury FB11 at the period of 'The Bay of Pigs' conflict. Just 6 months later the FAR were converting to MiG 15's. The model is the Special Hobbies FAEC kit, the canopy has been replaced with a Falcon Vac form unit (the shape of the rear of the SH canopy is too blunt). The U/C doors and retractable boarding step are etched brass and the pitot-tube made from an acupuncture needle inside a hypodermic needle. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeELL Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Well, thank you for your comments, they are appreciated. I guess it has been 30 years since I last made a model aircraft - back in the days before internet sites such as this. I built a Matchbox RAF Phantom - none of this weathering stuff and dioramas then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
