| This is the trainer variant of the WWII RAF fighter bomber. |
 |
| Ordered from the U.K. in the late 40's, the Hawker
Sea Fury served throughout the 50's and 60's. |
 |
| I decided this aircraft would need to show signs of
the desert climate and a neglected paintjob. |
 |
| A few snapshots of this fun little kit.
I didn't have any research on this kit at all
except for the one page instruction sheet
so if any experts would like to contribute...
feel free. |
Kit: PM Model #PM-214 |
Scale: 1/72 |
| Decals: stock - mixed with scraps from my leftovers box. |
| After Market Parts: None |
| Customizations: Masking Tape Seatbelts, wire antennae. |
| Cost: I paid only
$2.50 for this kit a Hobby Store Sale.
I don't think it's over $6.00 regular. |
| Value: Nice fixer-upper kit for the price. |
| Comments: Injection molded. Nice recessed panel
lines, maybe a little deep in places. Fit was good
with a little help at the wing roots The kit's
parts are molded with a grainy surface that
bothered me but wasn't bad enough to ruin
the kit. The canopy looked really bad until
I dipped it in Future floor wax and saved it.
There's not much of an interior so I made some
headrests for the seats and added a few other
goodies. I finished the entire kit in a weekend
which was nice change from my normal
drawn out projects. |
