Looks beautiful, nice smooth painting so far.

Very nice! Gary

Ari and Gary, thanks!It's my second try using an airbrush and it worked out pretty well.

That looks pretty nice, but more photos please!

Added a couple of pics.
I like to mention the problems I encounter in my builds (problems either due to the kit itself or ones I kind of produce with my actions). So:
- I lost the main landing gear but a fellow modeler not only gave me the landing gear but the whole kit (big thanks Dimitris). Now I have a shot of building it better next time so I decided to scratch the main landing gear in order to have a complete model for a later build. At the picture with the two landing gear les, the one on the lefet is the original while the one on the right is my try. I thnik it worked out ok.
- I put on most of the decals with the help of Humbrol Decalfix. They are rather thick, but the solution worked quite well. Also there are minor errors namely the size of the 123, which is a bit taller than it should. The only decals left are the red circles in the roundels which I didn't put them on purpose. Why? Well the white color in the roundels is a bit transparent and one can see the black stripes under it. So either have to find a white circle of appropriate size or carefully mask and airbrush some white colour.
- One thing I learned about decalfix is that it is rather aggresive against my Winsor & Newton Acrylic Gloss Varnish. I had to be precise on the placement of the decal since I had just about 30 seconds before decalfix interacted with the varnish and create a kind of glue under the decal and further movement of the decal was nearly impossible.

Shoot away!

All decals have been placed. I could have done a bit better with the model but I learned how to deal with the invasion stripes. Washing is up next and then a final coat of varnish, I suppose gloss or semi gloss, as far as I can tell from a couple of pics.

Bartłomiej Ślusarczyk
Looks very nice at this point, can't wait for final effect. Personally I would choose semi-gloss for final coat 🙂

You've done nice work with that PM kit. I thought most of PM's stuff was rough but that kit looks like it has nice detail.
24 February 2015, 20:57
Maciej Bellos
Thanks guys. That PM kit is more or less ok for a beginner: cheap and not many parts. But it has fitting issues and I kind of hate the contour of the surface. The detail is rather basic with some lines missing, especially on the cowling. As for the detail in the wheel wells, I will not take credit for it, because a close friend deepened the well and added some wiring before giving me the kit.

Es-haq Khosravi
Great job!
26 February 2015, 00:02
Maciej Bellos
Thank you Es-haq.
I applied pin wash and the next step is to apply a semi gloss varnish. Any thoughts about the colour of the wheel wells and landing gear legs?

2 March 2015, 04:20

@ John E: thanks for the link!
@ John Bollig: it 'd be nice to see your two seater. Such a peculiar shape and arrangement. Thanks!
@ Soheil: Thank you!

Maciej Bellos
Near the end. Some oil and dirt on the lower surfaces. Some mishaps are visible due to putty not being sanded of properly. The details in the wheel wells are my mind's doings, no info on how they were painted.
12 July 2015, 20:01

Looking really nice, Maciej!

More than 10 years ago I failed big time with the 2 seater version...Yours is going to look very good!
14 July 2015, 14:24
Maciej Bellos
Let's call it quits with this one. Not an easy model to build, lot's of inaccuracies. If anyone wants to build a respectable Sea Fury, he (she) must be prepared to do a lot of work: sanding off the leading and trailing edges, making the cowling fit to the fuselage (it has a larger diameter), improving the non existent cockpit, deepening the wheel wells are some of the things one has to do. All in all I am pleased with the paint job I done and the new things I tried.

Thank yous go to my close friend Yannis who gave me this model with some work already done, to Panayiotis who gave me another one after I had lost the wheel struts and ofcourse to all of you for the support.

Great job, doesn't look like the PM issue at all

I really like it, Maciej. Your paintwork is great. You've really done something nice with that PM kit!
18 July 2015, 03:25
Maciej Bellos
Thanks mates! If it weren't for some mistakes with sanding off the excessive putty, I think its my best work so far.

James C, nice that you had the chance to see one up close. It's a large fighter, with one heck of a powerful engine (2550 HP). I have it next to a PIG (F-111) and it is stunning.I think it's wider than an F-16. I'll post a picture for reference.

Maciej, we are only telling the truth mate.
Just stunning mate. 🙂 👍
21 July 2015, 16:47
Maciej Bellos
Kerry and James C, I added a couple of pics in comparison to a PIG and a Viper. By no means was the Sea Fury a small plane.
26 July 2015, 19:36
Kerry COX
There is an amazing highly detailed one in the Canberra War Memorial.
27 July 2015, 00:40
Kerry COX
I have often wondered what the Typhoon would have been like if it was fitted with a huge radial instead of the engine it had and all the problems with it.
Even more devastating I would imagine. 🙂
Thanks for the Vids. 🙂 👍

Ah, no, my mistake Maciej, didn't realize it was the PM kit. All the same great job!

Gerald and Marcel, thank you! Marcel, niiice, especially that Centaurus should sound pretty stunning.

Yes indeed. And beside the Centaurus they start in addition one Merlin 🙂 it was a nice sound....

Nice! How was the build?
29 June 2021, 15:53
Maciej Bellos
You are very kind Andy, thank you!

Thank you Dave! The kit is rather crude, no detail in the cockpit, no engine details, nothing in the wheel wells (my friend added stuff before handing it over to me) and the fit is between mediocre and bad. At least it has recessed panel lines, so no need for rescribing. I kind of enjoyed it because I was getting to know my airbrush and how to spray and it turned out quite smooth. Better tackle the Trumpeter or the Special Hobby kit.

29 June 2021, 16:26
Andy Ball
I can vouch for the SpecHob - I've heard it's the best in 72nd apart from the resin offering which is ultra rare

Thank you Kyle! I kept her rather clean as it was part of the RNHF at RNAS Yeovilton. Sadly, in 1989 she crashed at sea near Prestwick, Scotland after repeated efforts to lower the landing gear failed. The pilot bailed out.
