  1. Both look wonderful, Rafi! Kit bashing the Trumpeter and Hobbycraft was a great move, taking the best of both and overcoming their shotrfalls.

  2. Two excellent Furies, Rafi @blackmopane
    Especially the weathering on both is very nice.

  3. Very nice work, those Fleet Air Arm colours are great.

  4. Nice work - the kitbash looks good.

  5. Great work on these! They look good side by side. Might have to get the Airfix kit for my stash in the near future. Thanks for sharing!

  6. Nice work, Rafi. Always glad to see Sea Furies!

  7. Great pair of Sea Furies - paint and weathering are very nice.

  8. Nice looking duo! Great job.

  9. Both Fury's came out great. Awesome kit bash! I love on how you painted the black and white stripes, to me this came out looking very authentic. Excellent work on the weathering on both.

  10. Thank you Bob.
    I had to paint the black and white stripes because the decal supplied peeled off. I used oil paints because they are easy to manipulate and do not show brush traces.
