AIRFIX SEA FURY TAKES FLIGHT

Well, after a pretty late night last night, I think I have an – almost – complete, Airfix 1:48 Sea Fury! As most will know, this is the centrepiece of my new monograph (actually, it’s the only model in it!) so I’m happy to see it complete. I say ‘almost’ because the images have revealed some areas that need to be touched up, nothing major, but needed nonetheless.

Though not a perfect kit, I rather like the finished model, capturing as it does the pugnacious lines of the real thing. I’ve tried to create as busy a surface as I can and despite the rather bland markings, it still looks rather smart I think. Maybe when I build another, I’ll add some colour!
