F4u Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 could do with a good 1/32 Sea Fury although the fisher one is great but a bit pricey so if we can get one for the same price as the Tempest put me down for one. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

593jones Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I've never done 1/32, but a Whirlwind could change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.T Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I asked a few days ago and they are working on it. Fingers crossed. Perhaps after the Whirlwind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.T Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Since the Whirlwind is nearly there, perhaps Special Hobby will tackle the 1/32 version of the Sea Fury since they have the Tempest line already? Thoughts? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? It’s a nice thought, but I’m not sure the Sea Fury would end up with any parts in common with the Tempest kit, even the Tempest Mk. II.

mr.T Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, k5054nz said: Confirmation? I guess only Special Hobby can do that. But granted the Tempest is of course different from the Sea Fury, even though they "look" similar at first glance. The Whirlwind is of course a very special kit as well from what we've seen thus far. The Sea Fury appeals to me as the Dutch also flew it during the Golden Years of Dutch Naval Aviation (with an Aircraft Carrier, HMS Karel Doorman), between 1948-1955. Then the Sea Hawk entered Dutch service (also a great topic to tackle by Special Hobby by the way in 1.32).
