Andrew's Olympic Fury **Finished**

[AndrewR]

I do have a T.20 somewhere about, but I can't find it in the chaos stash cupboard.

[AndrewR]

Sky undersides, with masking for the white ID bands.



I will also be using the ferry tanks supplied with the kit, reasoning that an OTU might want extended range.

[AndrewR]

And tonight, Dark Slate Grey, or in Vallejo-speak, Panzer Olive Green (1943).





I also found the T.20 kit.

It's got to be a red German example...

[PaulBradley]

Nice. what red is that, in Vallejo-speak...?

[AndrewR]

Nice. what red is that, in Vallejo-speak...?

Probably Ferrari Red, over Panzergrau primer to make it quite dark.

[Martin R]

A Sea Fury in TSS. That's going to look fab!

Can't wait . . .

[AndrewR]

A Sea Fury in TSS. That's going to look fab!

Can't wait . . .

Plenty of time for me to botch it up...

[TobyC]

A good start so far. I see you had to resort to plasticard. Are there any top class 1/72 kits available of the Sea Fury?

[PaulBradley]

Yes, Toby - a superb resin Kit by Aki, and a very nice IM kit by Special Hobby.

[AndrewR]

Silly putty masking



Then the grey bits sprayed. I used Vallejo Air Dark Sea Grey for this.






Looks okay. Will the masking of the white bits work? Tune in later to find out!

[AndrewR]

And the mask is off...









And everything seems to be in order.

[AndrewR]

And the Xtradecals are behaving much better today. Must be the humidity or something.



I also spent some time cutting out new undercarriage doors from thin plastic card, to replace the rather thick armoured ones supplied. I've done two complete sets, as I've started a T.20 too

[DavidWomby]

That looks great in that scheme, Andrew.

[AndrewR]

That looks great in that scheme, Andrew.

David

Yes, I'm pleased with the look.



I've push-fitted the tanks and prop into place. The prop needed a little carving at the base of the blades to get the spinner to fit. Must check that I got the prop the right way round

[TobyC]

Cor. Me likey.
