Hello Dears, I treachreously use the Pre New year to stab the contract.... One month before the promises of good behaviour.... However I cleaned up a bit my waiting room for kits, I need something NEW !! So, here I start a new thread.... Aaaaand Yes, promise broken here !! for the ones that are not used to my lunacy, Yes, I'm mad !! I bought that one back in the '90s Then I bought this one in the 2000's And last year the third musketeer has landed at CC castle !! I love this trick, 3 kits of the same aircraft in 3 differents brands !! Comparison but not totally rivet counting here... Because.... And I prefer a good laugh !! Now... Goodies.... The Flightpath kit was expensive at the time... And still is, But It's a great deal of researches I will use it as a template mainly... I'm now addicted to our Dear alien's way to deal with detailling... Aka white plastic stuff ! Well now, there will be a FAA Sea Fury to go in my Korean War serie, I have right what I need... HMS Glory cruise with Sammy the storck !! Then A blue Sea Fury !! Aussies this one will be for you !! And finally, a more exotic one !! Tiger stripped Sea fury from the Cuban air force !! Now Ladies and Gents... Some comparisons... Wheels ??? The white metal ones from Flightpath look right ! and will be used as such... Now, Roy's ones look pretty good too !!! Fuel tanks ??? Yes !! Have a good laugh... But spinners are even more fun !! For the fuselage, Jobbycraft is fairly good ! Airfix is faring far better... And side by side... Go away, there's nothing interesting to see... Above pic is Airfix versus Hobbycraft... And then Hobbycraft and Trumpeter .... My great bet will be that no hen will recognize his chick when they will be finished and painted... Let's say one CC'ity... Then, I'll surely start another thread with a greater lunacy... shared with the @Martian Hale..... I'll post pics of the real thing soon... Feel free to share any experiences with these kits !! It's always helpfull !! Thread drift is allowed if not encouraged here Bantering is mandatory !! Take a seat at the Bar, have a Belgian beer and enjoy !! Sincerely. CC
