1/48 Hobbycraft Sea Fury

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

 

Here's my old Hobbycraft 1/48 Sea Fury with the below modifications: 

  • scratch built wing fold

  • canopy replaced with Falcon vac-form

  • decal by Almark 

The most challenging bit was the wing fold, which was totally scratch built based on photos from the internet. The decals from Almark were simply...good. I was worried about whether the black-white stripes would conform nicely to the wings and fuselage. With just a bit of trimming, they all fit perfectly.

I sent the model to a local competition in Singapore, back in Dec'2007, and won 3rd place. It was my 1st modelling trophy. It was great to win some prize.
