...No Aircraft Carrier!!!

Now building, the Sea Sea Fury.

Or, if explained to Dick and Jane:

Look, Look! See, See! The Sea Sea Fury!

I've no idea if there ever was one, or plans for one, but it looks right on floats.

Not sure what colour to paint the floats, Red, White or Blue. Maybe Red...?

two words-

AIRPLANE PORN!!!

Bluesteel · July 07, 2006, 02:29:08 PM

Definitely Red Floats.

Maybe with a white stripe later...

Absolutely grand, Bluesteel! This one's a real show-stopper!

And to think I use floats as substitue fuselages...

It's the PM Models Hawker Sea Fury T-20 in 1:72. I built it many years ago but when moving house the u/c got broken then lost.
But i found a pair of floats the other day with no aircraft. So I just had a little brainwave

I'll post another pic once the white stipes on the floats are finished.

Having built that model before, I can truly state that yours is simply unbelievably great! Talk about ice cream from horse dung ! Holy cow...stunningly cool.

Beauty! I built the Frog kit. I should post a pic of it just to show off how much better YOURS is so no one takes it for granted! ^_^

Now, the 23 kopek question: Are you going to pose it on a resin "water" diorama?

Brian da Basher · July 09, 2006, 11:35:37 AM

Wow that white stripe just brings the whole thing together! Very sweet!

Nice ! Now quit dinking around and put some decals on for us, eh ?!

Yep, decals are next.

Just as soon as I've made the final painting touch up and decided whether to keep the wing top blue stripe or revert to the true Raspberry Ripple scheme.
