Return to Index   Tangmere 1932 April 17 2012 at 1:28 AM   (Login StuartMilliken) HyperScale Forums from IP address 209.237.253.48 I just finished my Revell (ex-Matchbox) Hawker Fury over on the 1/72 Group Build, and thought I'd post a few final pictures here. This is my first successfully rigged biplane, so I'm both pleased and relieved. This is a nice little golden oldie kit, and I very much enjoyed working on it. I used fine stainless steel beading wire for the main rigging, fishing line for the undercarriage rigging, and painted invisible thread for the antenna lines. The finish is Alclad and Gunze, with artist's oils for the propeller. Kit markings are for 43 Squadron at Tangmere in 1932. I've heard tell that the colors might should be blue rather than yellow, but I just followed the kit instructions. Thanks for looking!
