Airfix 1/48 Hawker Fury

I have the same kit in my stash so I’ll pay attention to your project here for corrections needed. I really like your paint work on it so far. What paints are you using for the Dark Earth/Dark Green?

Stick I also had to reshaoe the rear part of the prop near the hub as it was to sharp angular to my eye, I just rounded it a little.

I used humbrol 65 with a little white on the bottom, top is HU 29 with 15% white and the HU30 green called out in the plans looks wrong to me so I used HU 163 rather.

Yeah, Humbrol 30 is way too bright for my eye as RAF Dark Green. 163 is wise choice. Is Humbrol 23 too light for the undersides?

I compare the blue on the underside of a Hawker Hartbeest here in the meseaum and it is quite clost to a slightly lighter 65 , 23 might be a tad to light, maybe its just me

Ah yes. A more vivid shade of sky blue than 23. Thanks for that suggestion and reference Theuns!

My HU 163 may be just a tad to dark but still allot closer than the HU 30 sugested.

I have been gloss coating with future and maube another 2 coats should do it then I can decal, I hope these airfix decals work well.

Caling this one done. Not the most refined kit but OK to bractice bi-planes on.

I assded the windshield after pix were taken.
