Hawker Fury and Sea Fury:
Blanks:
Fury
The first prototype for the Hawker Fury (LA-610) began life as the prototype for the Tempest Mk.III and it saw numerous engine changes from the Griffon to the Sabre. In its Sabre engined final form it is considered to be the fastest piston powered Hawker fighter ever built.
Sea Fury
The first Sea Fury prototype was SR-661 which featured a four blade prop initially and lacked folding wings. This was followed by the second prototype SR-666 which was fully navalised and had the five blade prop that became standard. The first group of production Sea Furies (F.10) were effectively identical to SR-666, but the second group were built as fighter-bombers and were redesignated FB.11.
I took Radome's Tu-16, I widened the Air Intakes a bit, took off the turrets, and slapped Gollevainen's "Comintern B-7" nose radar onto it (as it was clearly based on the H-6K) and this is the result. Is it of acceptable quality? This is my first attempt to actually do anything other than a colour scheme in FD scale.
