Hawker Seafury (Need some pics)
« on: February 24, 2009, 04:56:52 PM »
I need some good decent pics of a Hawker Seafury. We are in the process of building a 92'' Seafury and we need somthing to skin it with. We were leaning twords a metal finish, or a camo style paint.

Anyone have some good pics of those two? Or you can throw one out there that we may like.

This was outside our hangar at work just before the Sun n Fun airshow a couple of years ago.  Very nice bird.

Try http://www.warbirddepot.com  They should have quite a few as often as they put them on their monthly calendars.

Only 4 blades? Must be a restoration. The real deal had 5.

Not many choices for camo, I'm afraid.

I do have an RCAF example from a 1992 issue of FSM about super detailing a 1/72nd model. It's got a few splashes of color on it, including bolts on the DTs and a star on the prop. I think the RCAF markings look better than the Aussie ones. IMO they have better proportions on the words/roundels.

About 200k each, sorry that's as high as my old digi cam can zoom, and at its highest resolution. You can read the words but sometimes it's hard.

Not sure if you looked at the site I posted but if you look at fighters, then the Hawker Sea Fury, for each of those entries there's about a dozen additional photos at the bottom of the page (13 total including the first one) and there's seven entries for about 90 pics of the Sea Fury.

We were thinking about the Iraqi one, but there is loads more to be looked at. :)

We do have a book on some of this, dunno what you guys would like, maybe we can reach an opinion (what you guys think) on this.



The bottom two, are not going to work obviously.
