These are pictures of my Sea Fury, using the Hobbycraft kit with Airwaves photo-etched details, Aeroclub model propeller blades and Eagle Strike decals.

The Hobbycraft kit is easy to build, but the decals where really bad. Such as the Canadian leaf in the roundel looks like more three spots than a maple leaf.
Airwaves adds a bit in the model, especially in the cockpit, but you cannot see the front control panel which is really deep inside the cockpit. Otherwise, it's a good value to the final look of the model. I also used white metal prop blades because the shape are more accurate than the plastic blades provided in the Hobbycraft kit. Eagle Strike decals are simply excellent.

Paint : Aeromaster Dark sea grey on the upper wings ans fuselage, all the rest with Aeromaster light grey.

Hope you will enjoy it and happy modelling!
