This is my first venture into 1/48th scale aircraft and the first Airfix model I have built since I was a young lad when you could buy an Airfix model in a bag for 2/6d.
As there isn't a 1/32 scale Fury so I decided to try the Airfix model. Detail is good panel lines may be a little deep but I can live with that. The only issue I had was the engine cowling which Chris resolved with his build so I followed his remedy. There is a choice of three versions Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service. I picked the last version as It has a good colour call out and interesting roundels. Hats off to all you guys that build at this scale and lower as this is pushing my limits with the eyesight. Anyway all comments welcome.

(Also interesting to see that there apparently wasn’t enough room — or possibly stencil letters — to paint KONINKLIJKE in full …)
