Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury *** DNF ***
Something nice and relatively simple for this GB - the Miniwings 1/144 Sea Fury, which is the only kit of the type in this scale. An all resin kit, there are few parts, but they are finely moulded and feature recessed panel lines. Not a lot of interior detail - but then you'd really not see much inside anyway - and only one decal option, but there is a spare vacform canopy.
Unfortunately, it seems I've already lost one of the prop blades, so I'll need to fashion a replacement.

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
It's not missing, it's been removed for servicing!
Looks a nice kit Paul!

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Nice, looking forward to seeing her built. Hope you're doing a full cockpit

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Nice looking little kit Paul. If I had a prop blade missing I'd just do a prop blur and find a 1/144 pilot, but in your case it would seem a shame not to use the nice resin wheels and u/c (which would then naturally lead me to be thinking prop blur + just taking off/landing mounted over a nice little base...).
Cheers

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Onwards....
Small and fiddly, I have got the basic airframe done. I am thinking of having the outer wings posed folded and I shall construct some basic wingfold detail to go with it.

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Looks a sweet little model, Paul.
If you leave the wings unfolded, are they just a butt joint to attach them?

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Technically, yes, but they aren't quite the same chord as the stub wings.....which really makes up my mind for me!

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Paul, I have a photo of the wing fold details and u/c well details. I would need to post them though.

Re: Paul's Miniwings Sea Fury
Sorry, Martin - there's no way I'll be able to finish this for the GB.
I overcommitted - again - and with all the other stuff going on at the moment, I haven't had much chance to work on it. It will get finished at some point in the near future but not within the timeframe of this GB, I'm afraid.....

No probs, Paul. I suspect a number of us are in the same boat.

I'll keep an eye out for this one, it's a little corker.
