Reuben L. Hernandez Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Other than Fishers OOP excellent upgrade sets for this kit, did anyone else ever make an upgrade set for the Sea Fury, maybe like Eduard’s for the cockpit? Thanks Reuben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 In one word: no! The only thing you can possibly use is a CMK Tempest engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Until the Special Hobby kit is released this is your only option for the time being. Although I had a great time completely reworking this basic kit. You wouldn't see much in the cockpit as it was black. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Agreed, I think for a lot of us, there is a lot of fun in completely reworking a kit. Making a silk purse out of a Sow's ear n all. And/or having that one off kit/conversion sitting in your cabinet. Nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction of seeing your handiwork finished and the efforts you went to, to achieve it.

Reuben L. Hernandez Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Thanks guys for your input. Figured as much, just that I was reading all the reviews and how much work it would take to make it a descent enough looking model. I don't mind re-working the kit. I gotta agree with Anthony in NZ when he stated, "Nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction of seeing your handiwork finished and the efforts you went to, to achieve it". Just looking for a head start. Thanks, Reuben Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hi Reuben. David Parkins' Flightpath company makes a very good and complete detail set/upgrade for the kit. It includes resin, pe, and white metal parts. Barracudacast makes some upgrades for the Airfix kit that should work for the HC kit also. Regards, Pete in RI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Wouldn't it be easier to build a Fisher kit? I am throwing one up for sale as soon as I can get my act together. Reuben L. Hernandez and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben L. Hernandez Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 I would love to have a Fisher kit, but now that he's out of business for the foreseeable future and may not ever return to manufacturing. His kits have skyrocketed, if you can find then at all. Ill be interested in your kit, if you ever decide to sale it. Reuben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The Fisher Models parts really solve most of the exterior problems such as canopy and propeller. But the upsidedown aerofoil prevents folding the wings. Sanding down the strange ridges on the fuselage is not hard as the plastic is very thick. This is a very basic kit but a nice canvas to work on. As Airscale proved. Cees Reuben L. Hernandez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnie Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I built one out of the box, looks like a Sea Fury to me, but I now have a second one, complete with all the Fisher upgrades, and some nice gentleman sent me the Fisher decals, so I'm set!
