Here are some pics of my 1/72 Hawker Sea Fury finished in Dutch markings. It is the Trumpeter kit with Eduard coloured etch in the cockpit and the Aeroclub replacement propellers and undercarriage. Finished in White Ensign enamels and weathered with Promodeller washes. My only problem was with the canopy straight down the middle. Having removed it I faced some problems with Klear foggy in the corner. Trying to remove and rectify it seems to have made it worse hence why it is open. Lesson learnt. You can find pics of the build here.













All comments welcome.

Did you like the Trumpeter kit? I've thought of getting one myself and building a Sea Fury. Nice build by the way. Russell

Thanks Russell. I would say it is probably the best on the market but there are still issues with it. The undercarriage legs are too short, hence the replacement Aeroclub legs. Also the cockpit is too shallow. I used the eduard coloured set to detail it but if I do another one I will use the Pavla replacement pit that is availiable.
