Hello Friends

I want to show you building thread of new Fitters design-nice carrier based ( No 563 from HMS Glorious, 1932 ) biplane. It is mutation of well known Hawker Fury.
I think its really nice looking airplane. Lets look at restored and flying example.
First few steps - fuselage. Fast and simple.

See you next time.

I'm glad to see another colorful Golden Age Fleet Air Arm aircraft model available. It looks like this is another of your well-designed models. It sure is a pretty bird!

Hello Friends!

Good to see You all again.
Thank you for your kind words, but remember - not all merits are mine. At last half of them belongs to Fitter.

Fast look at construction site. Today: wings and control surfaces.
Simple, elegant and non engrossing.
I used piece of toothpick to strengthen controls - maybe i should patent this...

Hello again!

Today quick look at some details - propeler, radiators ( there are two of them ) and few parts of undercarriage.
Dont You think a fuselage plus wings are The Airplane ?

Looking forward to the completed model.
Needless to say that this is one of the superb designs by Sydney Camm, whos designs at one time constituted more than 80% of RAF aircraft during the 30's!
