Recommended Posts

My first attempt at the Airfix Sea Fury (quite a few more to follow)

Barracuda cockpit and wheels, Ali's engine cowl Aires gear well and Aussie decal  markings.

Nice one Steve and so good to see one built from a modeller (and curator) who provides so many answers to so many Sea Fury questions. 

I noticed that in the folded wing position you've cemented both your ailerons (up) or inboards. I've cemented mine both (down) or outboards as I've noticed this on quite a few photographs, so I'm hoping that mine are correct as well. Looking forward to seeing all the others. 

 

Cheers and well modelled... Dave

No excuse for not having enough references with one in your pocket, Steve!

Looks great! Nice finish, not gloss, not the dreaded matt that everybody seems to use, just a nice sheen to it 👍

May I ask what colour you have used in the wheel bays?

A layman question if I may for you Steve, is it possible/ usual to have wings folded with stores fitted on this or any other type? :shrug:

Looking at the relevant publication there is no limitation on weights on the wing for power folding

My pockets are full of Sea Venom's, if there was a Fury in there the oil leaks would ruin my trousers.
