Here’s my effort of a "well used" Arifix 1:48 Hawker Sea Fury.

I used Montex masks for the insignia and Eduard seat belts, other than that she’s OOB.

Don’t get me wrong this is a good kit however, I think that with a little more attention to detail Airfix could have made it a GREAT kit, one to rival Tamiya or Eduard, I know neither of these make a Sea Fury. If you want to build a Sea Fury you’ll not go far wrong with this kit, go for the “later” export version as I believe that the “short-shot” issues had been eliminated for that version.

until next time

as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received.

Great Sea Fury John !!

I've 2 export versions on the go, what do you mean by the short shot eliminated ?

Sincerely.

the first batch had mis-formed/mis-moulded parts

I believe the 2nd batch "export version" didn't have these issues
