I just thought this would be a good time to do this. Maybe a bit late since the fire and all but better late than never. My only completed Fisher build is the Sea Fury which I modeled as the one I saw at a airshow in Alton, IL YEARS ago. It was owned at the time by Ormond Hayden Bailey who was killed in a P-51 crash a few years later. A enjoyable kit to build!

Great thread. Let’s load it up and get word to Paul to show how much we appreciate his hard work and that we’re not all “kit flippers”.

For y’all’s convenience, I pinned this. For now.  I’m mulling making this a separate thread, but I think probably not. 
I did edit a couple things for clarity.

Peter, I remember you building that kit and combating a few pinholes.  It was a stellar build of an RCN classic, and got me pining for a 1/32 late Banshee in RCN clolors to complement the Sea Fury. And a Firefly, and an RCN conversion for the Trumpeter Avenger….

One awesome Fisher panther and the Iron Works Gang from Bethpage would be proud.

 

I'm glad you like it Peter, thanks.

I have already told how I liked your Twogar, John.

I am very tempted to finish mine to reproduce this very well known picture of a mishap where the pilots escaped, but the airframe finished at the bottom of the sea …

All are stunning builds! I have Paul's Sea Fury in my stash; I would love to get my hands on a Skyray.
