Airfix 1/48 Hawker Fury 1

I have been messing about with this for a while and so thought it was high time it was completed.
It still needs rigging a  few other bits and pieces doing.

Hi Zak,

Sorry to be the messenger, but it's actually a Hawker Fury Mk.1. The Hawker Hart is a a two seat Biplane of same era.

Wrong name, but a lovely looking model.

Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

Not this one, reading around it seems many RAF and RFC aircraft were not fitted with these, and in 1/48 scale how visible would they be, but in 1/32, well wait and see.

Very nice that! I wish Wingnut would branch out into some of these Silver Wings subjects, they make beautiful models. Anyway, I like what you have done with this one.
