super ! .. ..a resin cowl might have a been a bit of a time-saver but isn't really necessary at all on this kit IMHO. That said you did well to keep all the nice upper fuselage cowl details intact!

Thanks 👍. If I can save money and do it myself I will. To be honest though I used plastic card to replace those details I lost. A little time consuming but relatively basic skills and rewarding.

That's a fantastic build.

 

Can I ask one question? I love the weathering, but wouldn't the markings also weather? Maybe at a different rate possibly. 

 

Something I've been wanting to ask for some time.

 

Still a great build.

 

Cheers

Fair comment Dick, as my skills improve I guess the next level will be incorporating the decals more into the weathering process. I would actually describe my finishes as more artistic than necessarily uber accurate. It’s how I like to build and present them though.

Please don't think I was criticising your work in any way (I think it's superb) .  In was just curious.

Wow. That is a fantastic finish and the Sea Fury looks great in the Iraqi scheme. 
I’ve recently built this kit in RAN colours and plan to do another in a Moroccan scheme.

Markings are painted and re-painted.
