airscale Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi everyone So, an actual RFI post from me - quite a rare thing, though I notice I started this model in October 2020 so 10 months is not bad for a scratchbuild I guess..... the benefits of lockdown right This Fury was lost in a midair collision with K2901 on 17th December 1937 near Rowlands Castle, Hampshire. Both pilots, Flying Off (Acting Flight Lt) Harry Hamilton Peck (aged 26) and Sgt Robert Edmund Patten (aged 26) were killed. One day i hope to display it in Tangmere Museum as a memorial to them. It is scratchbuilt, with a vacformed fuselage and rib & spar flying surfaces sheathed in thin scored plastic card.. ..anyways, enough waffle and on with some pics... I learned loads and I have to say really enjoyed making this one - a first for a full scratchbuild and my first biplane gives me a lot of confidence to tackle other subjects and I had a lot of support from folks on the way - in particular everyone who encouraged me in my WIP and Tigger & Radu for help with the vacforming & masks I needed, and Glijn (Lightpainter here) for some invaluable guidance & refs for the airframe this is how we choose to remember those who lost their lives in the service of their country until next time Peter Cheetah11, JMcD, Jan_G and 43 others 44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Put some gas in it, let's see if it'll actually take off and fly. This is just a superhuman build Peter, you should be very proud of it. Matt airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiZac Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Peter, I've enjoyed following each of your builds on this site and others and have consistently been in awe of - and inspired by - your craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Fury has taken that to a whole new level. I'm smiling at the sheer gorgeousness of this thing and seeing into the cockpit reminds me of the lengths you went to in order to create it. Tangmere would be very lucky to have this on display. Bravo. airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaro Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 What to say? Referring to the first photo the restoration proved to be a great success! Now I'm looking at the actual, very well preserved aircraft! Gorgeous! airscale and KiwiZac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Again it was a joy to watch one of your models come to live. Your skills are utterly amazing and I can't wait to see your next project. Cheers Rainer airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) So Peter where are the photos of the model. Like Wolf I also only see photos of a real aircraft. Jokes aside, a simply stunning build Nick Edited July 5, 2021 by Cheetah11 airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainM Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 She is absolutely stunning! If I didn't know it was a scale model, I would be hard-pressed to guess it wasn't a real machine. Absolutely well done! airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Peter, you are in a different class. In fact, a totally different league. Such an inspirational build and the end result is nothing short of stunning. Thanks for sharing the journey with us! Tom airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
