While the putty is drying on the Invader and P-51's , I decided to take a closer look at the Airfix Sea Fury kit .
The kits plastic is a little soft and slightly grainy , if I'm not mistaken this looks a lot like a PM model kit in a Airfix box ?
Anyway I started to put together the cockpit , you just get a seat , floor and rear bulkhead , so I went to the trusty spares box to see how I could make things look a bit better...

I added a front consol and two side consol panels and found a control stick , this should fill in the cockpit void . I filed and drill out for the fuel tanks and rockets on the wing and glued the top and bottom wing halves together but I must say apart from the great decal sheet this kit is a little disappointing .
It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and the family gave me some money to buy a couple of kits that I would really like ; So I searched around a few online hobby stores and saw the Trumpeter 1/72 Sea Fury FBII ,

The kit comes with the option of folding the wings , so I ordered one along with some Royal Australian Navy decals for the Korean War .
I also saw this kit ..

I had just enough money left for the B-29A Super Fortress "Korean War" , so I ordered this one as well .
I also saw the Revell Privateer that gregbbear has his eye on getting , I'm sure his wife will let him buy it , so I went for the B-29 instead ![Wink](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
The Airfix Sea Fury should go together okay , there's not that many parts and the decals will sure spruce up a rather average kit .
