1/32 Fisher Sea Fury part I

This is the 1/32 Fischer Sea Fury finished in the markings of the "Aerobats", the demonstration team of 860 Squadron of the Royal Dutch Navy. The aircraft shown is the 46th of 47 Mk 51 Sea Furies built by Fokker. This aircraft was the reserve aircraft for the team during the 1953 demonstration season. The number 6 represents the 6th letter of the alphabet, "F", which identified the aircraft as a fighter and the 46, the airframe number. The aircraft codes are from a Dutch Decal sheet. However, I felt the orange used on the Fischer decal sheet was more accurate and used the national insignia supplied with the kit. The cowl orange was mixed to match the decals and used Polly Scale railroad Reefer orange as the base as it had a slightly brown hue. The aircraft is shown in a colour photo in the Dutch Profile, "Hawker Sea Fury History, Camouflage and Markings" and the left side escape panel and canopy had been replace, the extra dark sea grey, being considerably darker than the rest of the airframe. I didn't bother adding this detail to the kit. Hical, Allan
