colin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Right be kind to me, first model built after 10yrs.Got back into the hobby after finding this site and all the helpful advice/w.i.p builds,picked up a lot of useful information which helped me. First time using a double action airbrush, hence the c--k up with the exhaust staining, pulled back to far and splat, ah well this one burns a lot of oil !. Used Gunze paints/Astonish floor polish/Winsor & Newton galeria matt varnish. Edited January 13, 2012 by colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpc7676 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Colin, Mate, don't put yourself down! Very nice build for such a long time away from the hobby. No idea what you mean by the exhaust staining going wrong, looks just fine from where I am sitting. Keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) very nice model!any special problems during build with this kit? Thanks everyone for the kind words The kit gos together very well, fit of the parts is excellent,I have read on the forum about the faults,mad riveter included, but it looks like a Seafury, and to be honest trying to correct them would be beyond me. Only problem I really had was the primer coat didn't stick to the model, and when pulling the masking tape off, Tamiya, some of the top coat lifted complete with the primer, so had to feather the edges and repaint. This was more my fault than the primer I think as I had cleaned the plastic before spraying but I don't think I thinned the primer enough (lacquer based) and it was drying almost as it was sprayed and didn't bite into the plastic.

SimonT Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Great model of a great aircraft! Love it wings up too! Nothing wrong with that paint job if you ask me. Likewise, been after one of these for a while, will snap it up if I'm lucky enough. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike DeTorrice Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Wow ! This is a remarkable job on this gorgeous Sea Fury. It looks top-rate in every way. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish fairey Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 She's very nice Colin, having had personal experience with one of these beasts, the exhaust is about right. I once had an old Seafury pilot tell me that they only needed to navigate on the way out for a mission, on the way home they just followed their smoke trails.

Peter W Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Very nice finish. I built this kit and really enjoyed it too, as you say it looks like a Sea Fury. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GForceSS Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Absolutely stunning! Done just right too. I have Paul Fishers 1/32 resin monster kit but haven't pulled the trigger on tackling all that resin. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours.
