Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Afternoon all. So here's the Sea Fury from Aunty Airfix. A few problems fixed - like the short shot fin, daft rivets, the lack of gunsight, the solid underwing lamp apertures, fuselage foot step opened up and the headrest. But apart from some tape seat belts its "straight from the box". Decals a mix of kit and old Aeromaster to give an Aussie Sea Fury. Paints are Gunze and Tamiya acrylics for the main scheme and a 'Heinz 57' of acrylics for the details. It's a great kit, fits really well in the main and totally looks the part when done. My second is destined for a PAF scheme. All comments welcome as ever. Cheers Jonners 61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Moon Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Very nice build of one of my favorite aircraft. Any tips on rescribing the panel line on the starboard fin? Thinking of creating a template from mine before I join the fuse halves. Regards H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards H Hi Howard - that's how I did it - I use the fin to create a plastic card template that I could use to rescribe the panel line. Worked a treat. Thanks for looking.

Rabbit Leader Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 A most beautiful representation of what is quite a beautiful aircraft. This new Airfix Sea Fury has been finished off to perfection Jon and a great example where restrained weathering works best. Nice to see a RAN specimen amongst the many well built Canadian examples seen here recently. I really should go out and get one of these kits. Cheers..

I'm really enjoying building mine, its a great kit isn't apart from it's known problems with the moulding. Nice clean build by the way. Tim.

Jonners Cheers, you'd be forgiven in thinking you've waited for a replacement fuselage half from Airfix and used that! I think I did mention in the Sea Fury thread that is how I would have gone about fixing the problem, glad to see it worked. Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
