Well I'm modeling again. This an old Pyro Hawker Fury (1:48) I had in the stash. Hope I actually finish this one! It's a rough kit, to be sure. The decals are comical. I actually bought a more recent Airfix Hawker Fury to compare the kits. Both rough. But the Airfix decals are quite nice, and will be used.  |

Always good to get back to the bench! It's neat to see these inter-war designs and the influence they had on subsequent designs. You can definitely see familiar lines here for the Hurricane for example. |

Why do I have a feeling this will look pretty darn sweet when done?  |

Thanks for your comments! Moving right along. The Fury went to the paint booth. I used Floquil Old Silver. When I found out they were shutting down the Floquil factory, I bought up a bunch of Old Silver. Haven't found anything I like better so far.   Decals are ready to apply. As I mentioned earlier, I used the decals from the Airfix kit. They behaved well.   I was going to start the rigging last night, but I reached for my bottle of CA glue and found it had solidified into a brick. Waiting for the postman to deliver more... I'll be working on my Accurate Miniatures Dauntless in the meantime. |

Tough break on the CA. Always good to have a fallback kit to keep you busy! Markings look good on the old silver. |
