I ordered one yesterday Regards, Pete in RI Cheers Pete, you won’t be disappointed but it will be interesting to see with yours and my second one if all the parts are there. Trouble is, like the SW kits, there’s no parts list so the initial job of trying to identify what’s what and where it goes is a bit of a challenge!

mozart Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 Thanks Brian and Craig, she’s certainly one of the most attractive and charismatic models that I’ve made so far. I’m doing a bit of research into the colour of the prop, not a lot out there but it seems whilst early Furies had a natural wood-finish, that was later changed by adding a linen covering. Again there’s the difficulty of interpreting black and white photos but evidence points towards a light or medium grey colour, possibly with black on the aft surfaces. The beautiful restored one at Duxford has an all black prop, I’m sure they’ve done their research too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwomble Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hi Max No wish to derail your great build thread , (please PM me to delete this post if you feel it is inappropriate ) but took some more pics of the Hawker....er ....not Fury as I thought in the Victoria the other day . Either way though you might appreciate them ...the bar staff gave me those "sad old bogger" looks ! scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander and MikeC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 Great looking model but not a Fury, twin seats so probably a Hart? Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 603 Sqn markings iirc, as included in the old Airfix 1/72 Demon; but the aeroplane looks like a Hart trainer to me. Wonder if the Flying School your Fury belonged to had any of those on strength as well?

Panzerwomble Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 The serial is a fake , belongs to an autogyro . Apparently in the late 80's it was full of RAF memorabilia so maybe a retirement pub for some ex RAF person ? It's a big model , probably a bit too big to be an RC , although a bit too huge as a static model. Curious ! MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) What's the opposite word for "progress", is it unprogress? I started applying the masks for the underwing serial numbers: and applied the paint (MRP of course): but when removing the masks some of the paint pulled away too, and the rest after a period of drying was rather "flaky": so I've cut my losses and sanded the whole lot off: The lower wings have now been sprayed with white then a yellow top coat ready for my second try! I don't really know why this peeling has happened, any thoughts chaps? And look what Caroline, my favourite post lady has just brought me: Edited October 7, 2021 by mozart Greg W, europapete, Fanes and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
