Guest Peterpools Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) THE FISHER SEA FURY FB.II Lt Peter “Hoagy†Carmichael 803 Squadron, HMS Ocean 9 August 1952 This is my second Fisher Sea Fury, the first Sea Fury being my introduction to Fisher resin kits. On my first Sea Fury, I had a problem with the one piece wing mating to the fuselage and the cowl assembly correctly. One email to Paul, followed up with a few photos and Paul had three replacement cowls and two replacement wings in the mail … Incredible customer service and support. Once the parts were received, the kit went together flawlessly. My first Fisher Sea Fury; My First Sea Fury: This time around, I decided on Lt Peter “Hoagy†Carmichael's 'Mig Killer' of 9 August 1952 with the folding wing version of the kit. For reference I purchased the Hawker Sea Fury by Richard Frank after reading Kev's review; just loaded with detail photos and drawings. Since the kit isn't exactly new, I attached just a few photos of the main castings, decals and G Factor gear. Gorgeous decals are provided in the kit, a crystal clear resin canopy and PE as well. Paints: Mr Color of course Primer: AK Gray Prier and Microfiller Glues: Loctite CCA and Zap A Gap Medium thickness CCA Seatbelts; HGW instead of the PE belts I used on my previous build. Decals: Those in the kit Markings and color Guide: Fisher Models Thanks for checking in. Peter Just a few photos of what's in the box: Edited July 7, 2018 by Peterpools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thanks John Seems over the last few years, I'm getting addicted to sea Furies. I remember your build and hope mine comes out half as good as yours did Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hansen Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I think a Sky and Extra Dark Sea Gray Sea Fury would be wonderful. My friend Steve Bakke built a Fisher Sea Fury in RCN markings many years ago. It was a fine looking model, but the paint scheme just looked.....meh. -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Very nice first Sea Fury there Peter! I've got one in my stash as well but still haven't done anything with it. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Way to go Peter! I loved the first one you did so I'm looking forward to seeing your work on this one. I also have one of these in the stash, untouched, and collecting shelf dust. I'll be doing it in the same RCAF markings as yours but with the wings folded. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark64 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Pete, No, no and NO. I recall we agree your were going to build an helicopter and not a plane....i think I have the recorded conversation here somewhere. where you said you would..LOL . Another one of your stunning build in the making, will be watching. Great start BTW. Oliver Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) ' three replacement cowls and two replacement wings in the mail …' Very generous. Bravo, Paul. Are the wings single sections? If so, casting that wheel well with undercut is a thing of beauty. Not to mention the engine detail. Sincerely, Mark Edited June 21, 2018 by dodgem37 sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
