Tweener Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) In the lead up to the production of the Hawker Fury, various designs and engines were put forth, among them the Radial-Engined "Interceptor", V-12 "Hornet", and finally, the Fury. There were also a number of other Hawker aircraft that shared a very similar design, including the Hoopoe and Hawfinch. My goal is to build each of them, starting now with the F.20/27. Using the fuselage parts from a Tombo High Speed Fury (low-quality copies of the Matchbox kit), the wings, struts, and landing gear of the Matchbox Fury, the prop of an Eduard BK-534, the engine of a Pegasus Gamecock, the seat of an HPM Beaufighter V, and the wheels of an Airfix Bulldog, I'll slowly be working on this kit between classes. Two versions of the F.20/27 existed, the first with a Bristol Jupiter VI, and the second with a Bristol Mercury VI. I'll be building mine with the Mercury. So far, I have only built up the cockpit. Once this is painted, the nose will be added, and then the tail surfaces will be re-shaped and hopefully I can find a way to replace the fabric detail. That's all for the moment, Tweener Edited August 26, 2021 by Tweener 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Did any more come of this? I was poking at a 48th Airfix Fury yesterday and thinking about the possibilities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
