1/48 Kitech Hawker Sea Fury FB11

--------------------

 

This build is the Kitech (Hobbycraft) Hawker Sea Fury FB11.  It is straight from the box with the addition of Eduard Harness and Aussie Decals for  VW632 108 K No.805 Squadron R.A.N. 1950.  The kit needed a moderate amount of filling and sanding and some of the panel lines were indistinct requiring a minor re-scribe.

Paint was added via the following sequence: a black pre-shade for the top surfaces and a dark brown for the under surfaces.  Colours applied using Model master enamel sky for the under surfaces and Humbrol extra dark sea grey for the upper surfaces, this was followed by a darkened shade of grey as a post shade.  Tamiya gloss clear coat was applied for decalling, this being followed with an oil paint pin wash for the panel lines and air brushed exhaust stains.  A Testors dullcote final seal was applied  then some pastel chalks to finish.
I hope you all like it.
