Good work Dave. If that was the kit decals, they worked nice and provide a fair amount of stenciling
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale

The Hawker Sea Fury looks outstanding. If the Hudson comes out half as good it's to be exceptional. What are NZ markings?

Re: DaveJ's Workbench
Great looking Sea Fury Dave. Nice bit of masking for the line at the top of the fuselage.
Your avatar looks pretty cool too.
My Airfix Sea Fury is half finished in the box. I spent hours filling and sanding the gaps between the fuselage and the wings. Then painted it with Vallejo primer, but when I started to sand some off the primer down it went all flakey.
I stick to Tamiya or Halfords primer now..

The only way I got to keep them Tigers busy is to LET THEM SHOOT HOLES IN ME!

Lovely Fury. Agree that the decals have helped left what is quite a basic kit.

Thanks, its the cover of "Biggles Goes to War"Woodstock wrote:Your avatar looks pretty cool too.
It's more of a crevice than a gap . The end product is worth the effort, as James says, the Decals make the world of difference. I think this is one of the first models I managed to get all the decals on in roughly the right place.Woodstock wrote:My Airfix Sea Fury is half finished in the box.

Re: DaveJ's Workbench
Got the main bits together.
I must confess to being Mr.OOB
I have toned down the rivets a little

Like the Sea Fury. Nice, clean, simple build. (this place needs a thumbs up smiley.)
Really nothing pithy to say.

Is the Fury the old pioneer tooling ?
