BlrwestSiR Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Well, this has been in the stash long enough and watching @ScottsGT build his Hobbycraft version was enough impetus to start on mine. Forgot to take a box pic but imagine lots of white tissue with resin unobtainium inside. So like most aircraft builds, I started with the cockpit. I did a base coat of NATO black and then added some RLM66 over top. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It's a very nice kit Carl and I'm sure you will enjoy the build. I built mine using the folded wings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Thanks John. I've taken it out of the box so many times and dry fitted bits that it just seemed time to build it. I'll be doing mine with the wings unfolded. I had the folded wings but sent that one to Scott for his build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Some weathering done on the cockpit tub. More to break up the shear uniformity of the black. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Hi Carl Glad you decided to dig into the Hobbycraft Sea Fury - front office is looking fantastic. While I thank goodness don't have the Hobbycraft kit, I do have the pretty bad Airfix 1/48 kit with all it's poorly done molding and literally short comings and quality of the era. I also have a lot of the Barracuda update sets and am planning on merging both and starting the build right after the P-38. Not sure of the scheme yet but it will either be a Korean War Sea Fury or all the all gloss blue finish aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Don’t even get me started on that prop and spinner they provided. 💩🤮 I think back on the Fisher kit I passed up on now because “I have the Hobby Craft. Don’t really need the Fisher”. Makes me sick to my stomach thinking I passed up that opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
