Hobbycraft | HC1583 | 1:48 | Hawker Sea Fury F. B. Mk.II
OOB build of the vintage '89 Hobbycraft 1/48 kit.
Pretty basic cockpit and engine detail - just concentrated on painting as cleanly as possible.
Post shading and stripes.
Post shading and painting the white of a roundel. Applied decal over the top of the stripes. Not thinking about how the black would show through the aged Hobbycraft decals!
Panel line wash and detailing.
Panel wash and dirty-up completed using only Vallejo and watercolour paints. No Tamiya stuff or oils available at this stage, so obviously had to ensure I was getting it somewhat right, as I couldn't wipe it off afterwards.
But bought some by now... Adding Humbrol Blue/Grey panel wash. It's a bit 'heavy' this stuff!
And we're done! 🙂

James CThat's fantastic, and I built it when I was a teenager back in the day. It looked no-where near as good as this though!👍

NeilThanks James - I appreciate your kind comment and though was never aware of this kit - I am also reliving my youth in these vintage builds! Ha! Ha!

Kerry COXHobbycraft tried hard to get some detail happening in their kits, and your rendition has done that attempt a great result in showing just how much 'grunt' these sea fury birds had. 👍
Your attention to detail is well noted and admired. 👍 🙂
Cheers. 👍

Rich K.I tried building the Hobbycraft DO-17, gave up and almost threw it across the room. Nothing fit right and the landing gear was virtually impossible (for my abilities). I replaced all the Hobbycraft kits in my collection with newer ones. Hats off to you bro! Wonderful job!

NeilHi Rich K. Yeah, agreed they're not the best. Rather ridiculously maybe!? I've set myself the task of building; rather than collecting all these older kits out of the box... I must be a madman! Ha! Ha! Thanks very much for your comment ? very kind of you ?

Album info
Hi there,
Thanks for stopping by to view my latest build #12 the Hawker Sea Fury F. B. Mk.II.
I build straight 'out-of-the-box' endeavouring to show the build journey in as few photographs as possible - this is my reason for utilising montage imagery to help reduce the image count of an album.
This build was uploaded on the 26th March 2020.
I hope that the you find my build journey both informative and helpful.
