Guy's and Girls,
I'm building FAA aircraft in 1/48 from the start of the service up to present day but I'm stuck finding some of the early stuff.
Do any of you know of kits any medium in 1/48 of the following:
Hawker Osprey
Blackburn Shark
Blackburn Ripon
Blackburn Blackburn
Fairey IIIF
and
Fairey Sea Fox

Many thanks for any help.
Luciano

I know that "Frog" use to make the Hawker Hart. It is fairly rare if I am not mistaken.

Thanks Stephen I've had a look along that route but the Osprey's wings and upper decking are completely different to a Hart's. I've been checking plans and kit availabilty thats the reason for the post as I've drawn a blank.
I've picked up a Airfix Fury to convert into a Nimrod I as apart from span the wings are the same and then the only other noticable differance is the oil cooler, all other things being internal.
