Hawker Sea Fury FB. 11


Recommended Posts

In my growing collection of FAA planes the Sea Fury is a must-have, of course. The Trumpy model is for sure one of the worst kits from this company in respect of accuracy and fit. A little bid of help comes from Flightpath. This correction set was designed for Hobbycraft, but fits nice to Trumpy as well. Additionally I used some Eduard for the cockpit and decals from Printscale. The Trumpy decals are useless in shape and colour, but the (good looking) Printscale had (nearly) ruined my model! The totally disintegrated in hunderts of pieces after contact with water :-(

A silk purse from a sow's ear but more importantly reasons for a new 1/72 kit in basic version, with stores, and 'Dogfight Double' with MiG-15 from you know who. Also to follow the lead of the Defiant and tooled in 1/48 too. Oh yes, and with folding wings like all their naval aircraft.

The Trumpy 48 scale kit would be much easier with folded wings (the fixing of the movable part in non-folded position is weak - and the Flightpath set contains a wonderful folding set as well) - but I like the great lines of the (british!) fighters too much... The only plane I will ever build with folded wings will be the upcoming Su-33 (full armed - that's cool!)
