As I haven't been up in the loft yet to find the Sea Fury I'll start off with this.

Made a bit of a start this morning. Nice touch by Airfix to remind us idjits that we have to put weight in the nose. :D

The last bits took longer than I thought but it's done now. Not entirely happy with it. The canopy was allergic to touching the fuselage and we had a big fight.

I also noticed that there's supposed to be a red line going round the fuselage under the roundel...of course I noticed that after I'd put the other decals on.

At least I managed to put the flat bits of the wheels on the bottom for a change. :lol:

I think this, and the Mig-15, are the best kits that Airfix have released in the past few years.

Thanks guys.

@ Dave - I built the Mig 15 a little while back, it was a really nice kit to build. I really enjoyed it.
