Calum Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) My second RAN Airfix Sea Fury. This one is a commission job. The aircraft depicted is that flown by LEUT (P) Keith Clarkson who was the first RAN FAA pilot lost in the Korean War (5 Nov 1951). As an aside the hockey field at HMAS Albatross, is named after him. Full build details at my blogbut here's some photos Edited May 14, 2020 by Calum 66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I've seen several builds of this kit, and they all looked very nice, but I have to say yours is the best replica of the bunch- workmanship is outstanding, and finish and weathering completely realistic and not overdone. I am sooo jealous! Now you need a Firefly Mk V and a Seafire FR47 to go with it! Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I can't understand, for the life of me, why there aren't 100 comments about this incredible model! The more I look, the more impressed I am. Calum, I so agree with Russ; that is the best looking Sea Fury I've seen too! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
