airbus320 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi All! Given the excitement generated by the new Airfix Sea Fury I decided to drag my old Hobbycraft kit off the shelf and give it a bit of TLC. The original model used white metal gear and prop plus a vac canopy so these were reused for the rebuild. The fun part was reattaching the previously folded wings and rescribing the hinge lines... I used xtradecals and vallejo paints finished off with Winsor and Newton Satin varnish. I have attached a pic of the model as it was originally as a comparison. This should satisfy my Sea Fury cravings until I can build my Airfix and AMG kits. Hope you like it! Chris 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think I've got one of those way back it the far, dark reaches of the stash. I have a vague memory of fondling the plastic, way back in the late 80's. Both versions of yours look great. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbag Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Still have a couple of these in the stash so I'm pleased to see they still stack up well against the younger competition. I have the PP Aeroparts detail set as well as some of the Cooper Details aftermarket items. All of which means that I can put off buying the new Airfix kit for a while. Lovely build and restoration Chris. Chris . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattheCat Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 A Fury nicely reborn. I prefer matte finishes but yours has a the kind of subtle shine just to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
