Hi! An rather late entry I am afraid. But I join in with an kit that is already for most parts are assembled and painted - my Frog Sea Fury. It started life as an "comparison build" with the Airfix 1/72 Sea Fury and the idea was to build them straight OOB. The "rule" was make it simple and without time consuming work. When comparing the two kits during the build it was soon clear that the old Frog kit was the better one of the pair. So the work on the Airfix kit stopped and the work continued on the Frog kit. The fit was good with no filler at all. I just sanded of the the fuselage and wings to get the "smoth look" of the Se Fury seen on pictures where panel lines almost not can bee seen. On the picture the Sea Fury is painted in Humbrol 90 Beigegreen (sky) and Tamiya AS-4 Greyviolet (extra dark sea Grey). The spinner and the canopy is just loose on the fuselage. The prop was made up of five propellerblades that had an nice fit inside of the spinner. "Most of work" was done on the big cooler intake on left side that had some kind of strange shape. On the picture the two sinkmarks in front of the cockpit can be seen. As this build was intended to be an quick end simple comparison build I didn't want to hide them with filler. I wanted to keep the real look of the Frog kit. And with that maybe do another comparison build with the Trumpeter Sea Fury. It's sad that the mould for the Frog Sea Fury is missing and probably destroyed... Cheers / André
