32nd_Plastics Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hello all. I did the best I could with my little pocket camera...and here's what I have. ...and this is the build thread I started almost two years ago: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=30510 The aircraft was modeled to be clean and lightly flown. The finish is blended Tamiya acrylics and all overcoated with Testors high-gloss lacquer. After the lacquer dried I carefully sanded the "orange peel" away with 1,500 grit and sequentially polished the clear coat all the way up to 8,000 grit. As everyone probably already knows by now...what a great kit ! I hope to build another on in the near future. Questions and comments / critique ( whether of love and disgust) all accepted ! Thanks for looking -Gabriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saber Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Killer job there! Especially like the landing gear & the polished panel where the exhaust hits....looks realistic.... Happy modeling, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunumdrum61 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Beautiful work! You picked the best markings also I think. Can't go past those Red Roos on the roundals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzacher Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 A Fisher Models Sea Fury always attracts my attention! A beautiful and very attractive finish, Gabriel! It´s a pleasure to drool over your pictures. Not bad for a pocket camera... Having build this one myself I see some parts missing, maybe you plan to add these later? I made use of one of your pictures to show what I miss: HTH Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32nd_Plastics Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Thomas, Yikes...I did not know about the catapult hook...I appreciate you pointing that out ! Also, the cowl flap and gun barrels I plan to add before the next show here in Texas. Thank you, everyone, for the comments ! GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Riese Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hello Gabriel: great results and what a lovely replica. Not seen one of these locally, so appreciate your detail closeup shots - they really help to show off what the kit offers. Thanks for posting. Cheers, Ralph. 32nd_Plastics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamj Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hands down one of ,if not the best, large scale resin kits made.You certainly have done justice to it. Very realistic exhaust staining just tops it off as well. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Disgust ? No way!! What a beautiful build. Great finish on the paint job and very very nice detail work. Didn't know they flew with NMF props... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
