Dancona Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I would just like to introduce myself being a newbie around here 'n all that, I'm 52 live and work in Barcelona and tend towards floaty things and wingy things, mostly related coming from a FAA family background, other interests include playing with funny old cars (scale 1:1) but that’s another story. I dipped my toe into the water here recently in the maritime section, but as I had a recently completed wingy thing I thought that I might take a deep breath and ask for some C & C on my Fisher Seafury, not quite sure if I've done it complete justice, but a superb kit and a very enjoyable build. The Seafury has to be the most brutally beautiful machine ever to fly, IMHO that is, and as for the noise………,just thinking about it has made me fill my bed-pan…..Nurse NURSE Anyway all comments welcome Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancona Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well what can I say, I am quite overwhelmed, thank you all for your kind comments, the quality of work on this forum is truly outstanding so it feels quite an honour to be welcomed to such a friendly bunch of fellow nutters, thanks guys ! The floaty thing on the go at the moment is a 1/400 Victorious, I posted a couple of pics on the maritime WIP section on Phil Reeder´s Illustrious thread , its taking a looong time, I will post some up to date pics soon. Cheers, and thanks again Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That really is rather stunning. Never heard a bad word said about this kit and you certainly have produced a very convincing replica of the actual machine from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
