I remember your Sea Fury build like it was yesterday - epic doesn't come close 🏆

Starting to lay down a few decals.  I guess this is my consolation prize since I’m supposed to be on a cruise ship right now up in New England.  Storms throughout the NE on Saturday cancelled all flights into NYC. 

Going to settle on a couple of days at the Cherokee Casino in NC starting tomorrow.  
 

[ScottsGT]

I’m back at the bench after a week missed due to missing a flight for our cruise and then spending a few days in Cherokee NC at the casino only to come home and discover I have Covid.   Hopefully I’m on the backend of that right now.  But still bad sinuses and headaches.  
During this stretch I did get my delivery of the rare as hens teeth Fisher Prop and spinner.  
As requested, here’s some pics comparing the two. 

As you can see, Fisher is scale with prop blades attaching to a hub and covered with the spinner. 
The kit just has blades on a stick that glue into holes on the wrong shaped and too long spinner.  

Just all wrong 

Fisher builds up with a jig. 

And of course the final product 

 

Now off to figure out how to mount these folded wings with broken off tabs.

Almost there!

 

A few paint touch ups and she’ll be done!

That jig is a good idea. If only other kits had those . And hope you get better from covid.

Fingers crossed you are on the backend and feeling better each and every day. Awesome progress on the Sea Fury and it's so easy to see the care, effort and attention to detail Paul put into his version. 

I've been plugging away at the 48th scale Airfix version, primer is now on and enough said.

Yea, I’m still coughing and hacking up stuff that drains from my head into my lungs at night when I sleep.  
The first 90 min of my day is nothing more than lung clearing time.  
I can’t seem to break the sinus issues, although they are a constant problem for me even before Covid.

Scott

It's a battle for sure and hopefully in a week or so, you will be back to your old self. 🤞

Your model looks great.  I hope you are feeling better.

I’m slowly getting there.
