Thanks, Mike.
Nice engine, MichaelS. I've learned a lot about designing models over the years and continue to learn every day.

Here the first Sea Fury profiles.
So many nice ones to do.

Nice Sea Fury's

Many thanks to Bruno & Gerry for their F4F Wildcat. My build thread here:

Thanks for sharing this nice build thread, MichaelS.

Before I venture in some camouflaged Sea Furies, here some more "simple" recolors.

Bruno,

Saw this on the web. Would be a nice challenge for you.

I did the Airacobra a long time ago (before adding landing gears and realistic props). Nr 358 to 360.
I should probably redesign them one day.

But for now some more recolors of the sea fury.

I don't remember ever seeing those markings before, Michael. Was it an umpire aircraft from the Louisiana maneuvers? What is the source for the image?

Yes the 1941 manuevers. There is also a Dauntless with UMP in big letters. I just googled the other day for somereason and that image came up.

Close, Don. That scheme was used in the Carolina Manoeuvres, Oct-Nov 1941. Source is probably from "Wings of Stars", The Aviation Workshop Publications Ltd, 2009. That source has (in addition to the Umpire scheme) a P-39 with large white crosses on upper right and lower left wings and ahead of the fuselage insignia. Also a P-39 red crosses on upper right and lower left wings as well as aft of the fuselage insignia; no doubt representing the opposing forces. There are also examples of other aircraft from the Carolina and Louisiana war games.

The book is a great source of "between the wars" USAAC aircraft, unfortunately long out of print.

I have two other books of The Aviation Workshop Publications that served me well before. Indeed unfortunate that they stopped printing.

I continue recoloring and adapting. Here some more Sea Furies and the Fury prototypes. Note that the latter two still need some designing.
