pacificmustang Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This is the last of my Trumpeter sea fury's from the shelf of doom . As with my last one I incorporated the JKT corrections, as well as a squadron vac canopy Spinner and blades are Cooper Detail items, as are the undercarriage legs. The cooper legs are about 3mm longer than the kit legs and improve the sit of the kit no end compared to the kit legs. The CD spinner and blades also improve the look of the finished model, the kit spinner is rather pointy. Apart from that Humbrol paint, 104 oxford blue, to be precise and a mix of Aussie decals, Aeromaster and decal spares. I still think the aeromaster roundels are oversized, also the buggars refused to sit down into the detail. I still need to add some exhaust staining Not my best work, got rushed towards the end just to get it off the bench as it has been sitting there a year!! Thats it! I'm seafuried out at the moment,on with the hurricanes! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandX Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Very smooth; always good to see a Nowarra Sea Fury. Also nice job with the cockpit opening/canopy shape fix -managed to miss that with mine until it was too late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That looks a real beauty and the cockpit alterations certainly make it look the part, well worth the effort, along with the spinner and u/c legs. I`m planning to do one of the silver Aussue Navy ones with Red trim which were flown at airshows etc but like you I have the shelf of doom to clear first! Looking forward to the Hurricanes that you are planning, as its my favourite aircraft, Thanks for sharing, Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for all the nice comments fellas, always motivates me to get on with the next one!! Phil, JKT corrections is just my way of referring to Jon Kunac Tabinors corrections to the kit when he built it way back in 2009, I think. I have provided a link to his article in my other sea fury posted in RTI Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
