Totally agree. I am not a huge fan of crazy weathering, I think it depends on context. So eg my Wildcat at the end of the War I did heavily bleached etc. But I figured they had more important things to worry about than paint jobs. But even still it seems a shame in my mind to spend hours making something look nice to then make it look crap. With the Sea Fury all the pics I saw they looked spotless. Thanks for watching!
No I didn't. It really is a well done kit. No pilot which is a bit of a shame, but in general I think the after market figures are better. Thanks for watching!
Lot of people make this mistake. Also make sure you move the control column to reflect the position of the control surfaces. Though it may be difficult now you have finished what is a fine looking model.
I am really glad you brought this up. I really could kick myself for completely missing it and now that you have pointed it out it seems so obvious. I was thinking today about the control column reflecting the positions. Yeah I am tempted to leave it as is and move on - lesson learned. Thanks again!
Have just bought one of these Sea Fury kits directly from Airfix. Thanks for the video. Found it at the right time.Hope I can do as well as you have.
Thanks for the comment. It is a really nice kit, I hope you enjoy building it as much as I did. Definitely one I would buy again.
Nice to see an unweathered model for a change. A peacetime aircraft would be well maintained and kept clean. Cheers from the Yorke Peninsula.

Excellent outcome and a good positive review of the build. Mine is in the stash looking at me... Best wishes, Nick
You should stop looking at it! It’s a nice kit. Thanks for the encouraging comment!
looks lovely in allover navy ! beautiful job .
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
Very nice job. Good inspiration to get mine out of the stash!
Thanks! I thought it was a great kit.
Great video! Great product review! Great build!
Thanks so much! I am still figuring out youTube but getting there.
Nice build - I have the RN one in the stash to do...
Thanks!
I read that a mix of interior green and sky gives a fairly accurate representation of the wheel well colour
That is very interesting. You have got me curious and I will have to give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Looks good nice paint job 👍 did you use any filler with this kit and does it come with a pilot
No I didn't. It really is a well done kit. No pilot which is a bit of a shame, but in general I think the after market figures are better. Thanks for watching!
Zinc chromate is bright yellow by mixing in a little black paint you ll get green zinc chromate
That makes sense. Also explains why there was the variety. Thanks for watching!
If you put the ailerons at an angle one should be up and one should be down. You seem to have both down.
You know I hadn't really thought about it but you are absolutely correct. Lucky that is an easy fix. Thanks again!

@@Modellers-Workbench Well mate the model still looks good so don't beat yourself up about it.
