Hawker Fury: best looking biplane ever (IMHO)


Recommended Posts

The model sucks, I know.

I couldn't do any better with that old 1/48 Airfix kit. But, man, I do love the Hawker Fury. I find it really elegant. You can see in those lines what will have become the Hurricane.

This one is actually a Hawker Spanish Fury as it was dubbed. Part of a small lot built for Spain that took part in the Civil War in the Republican side.

Landing gear in the Spanish ones was slightly different from the British versions. I used a old spare part belonging to a Gladiator....

I don't know what more could have been done, even with a more recent model!

This is just a beautiful work.

Congrats

Lovely model but clearly you need to go to Spec Savers as the Blackburn Blackburn is obviously the best looking biplane ever!

Fully agree with you....yes to me it was the most beautiful airplane during those golden years in comparism to the many blunties (radials) that were sharing the sky with it.A very pleasing looking Spanish Fury.....I like it very much!
