alex_stela Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Something new for my Korean War aircraft collection - 1/72 Hawker Sea Fury FB.11, serial VX 730, number K 109, 805. Squadron Royal Australian Navy, HMAS Sydney, Korea 1951. Built with Trumpeter`s kit, Eduard`s Zoom PE parts for cockpit and Pavla`s resin propeller. Some modifications were made (for ex.: 3mm longer gear struts, bigger wheels, area behind the cockpit aligned to fuselage, opened step on port side, exhaust pipes, pitot tube etc.). Decals are from AIMS decals set "UK & Commonwealth in Korea". Painted with Gunze C.

JimHead23 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That looks beautiful. I have two of these in my stash and this may have given me the incentive I need to get cracking on one! Thanks for sharing. Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Excellent work! The weathering is very impressive as well, it doesn't look 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Nice! There's something about EDSG over Sky... Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDeco Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That one looks very nice. One of my favorite prop birds. Great job sir!! René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Silk purse. It may have an 'A' between the 'R' and 'N' but its a Sea Fury in EDSG/Sky and therefore resulting is the most stunning single engine piston aircraft ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 As with other comments-I'd have pegged this at 1/48 from just the visuals. Lovely build of a graceful craft. The photos bring it up a treat. Nice one. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A terrific looking Sea Fury with a beautiful paint finish. It could easily pass as 1/48th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
