Hawker Sea Fury

[66Foxtrot]

Here's Trumpeter's 1/48 Sea Fury, built OOB w/ the exception of Eduard PE seat harness. Airbrushed with MM Acryl, & Vallejo Model Air acrylics. Nice,.easy build with gosh-darned yuckky decals. The "invasion" stripes are part decal, part paint. Enjoy.

Thanks Charles! Naaaah...Vallejo Model Air is brainless. I don't even thin it. I just squeeze some into the cup, and start spraying.

I echo James' comments about ModelAir paint....wonderful stuff. An equal to Tamiya, IMHO.

Very nice James! The stripes add some snazz to the scheme and the folded wings make it more interesting too! Congrats on another great build!

Always loved the Sea Fury...yours looks great James.

 

Quick question about the Model Air paints. How's the adhesion? I remember trying some paints several years ago that I think were called Aircraft Colors and they came in the same eye dropper bottles the Vallejo stuff comes in. They sprayed fine, but were REAL delicate.

Outstanding James!

 

Mike - I haven't had any adhesion problems with Vallejo as long as the surface was cleaned and primed.

Terrific work, James! I'd like to pick up or trade for one of the Trumpeter Sea Furys as it is one of my all-time favorite aircraft. An outstanding job, sir!

 

Later,

I love some of these Aircraft color schemes I am seeing recently!
