Thanks Lee for the information… She certainly smoked allot at Legends so not suprised to see that the cylinder needs looking at.

Cheers Cliff

Sea Fury T.20 Model

While we are on the subject of Sea Fury models,and particularly the RNHF Sky Guardian model,I thought I would mention that there is also a Sky Guardian model of the former RNHF T.20 WG.655.

I ‘ve just ordered one from www.aviationretaildirect.co.uk what with that and a new VR.930 model I’ll need a cabinet just for the Furies soon !!!

There’s detailed information on the SeaFury’s current ailments in the news section of the RNHF website:

Thats a real shame….

I must say what a great gesture by Tim Manna….Well done Kennett Aviation!

A company in the US called Fishers do a gorgeous 1/32 resin Sea Fury, they also do amongst the many decals G-FURY. Only problem is it’s well over £100.

Box art looks very nice, although it’s a shame they have to go for Carmichael’s aircraft yet again, thus perpetuating the myth that it was he alone that downed the MiG!

As for the Xtradecal sheets, I’m a bit worried they used the Warpaint book as reference – there are many glaring errors in these publications and certainly the 802 NAS-schemed Sea Fury drawing is entirely wrong (check out the ‘Q’ on the tail in this compared to what we produced for VR930). Be wary!

For those of you who prefer your 1/72 scale aircraft to be plastic, Trumpeter’s new Sea Fury kit is now available – the latest in a line of FAA aircraft in both 1/72 and 1/48 scales from this Chinese manufacturer.

On the strength of the Wyverns, a 1/48 Sea Fury cannot be too far away.

That’s actually a nice illustration to go with the model, looks well researched (empty cases, harsh light), pity about the usual ‘frozen’ prop..Hey Lee, check out those stencil details will ya? 🙂
