This obsolete kit of the Flair Hawker Fury biplane will form the basis of my next model,the Fury will be built into a lightweight flyer with micro radio gear,these small models fly very well in small fields too,I already have a FROG Tomtit very similar configuration to this that is now over 15 years old and still flying.
First job is to carefully cut out the parts from a dozen sheets of balsa this takes time and I have been doing this over the past few weeks to make a pre cut set of parts to make a start,laser cutting does not bother me as by now over the years I have cut out thousands of parts by hand it is all part of the building process,here is where we are at with parts neatly placed into card trays for instant access during the build.
Nice clear working drawing of this delightful pre war biplane fighter.
If you see these kits then snap them up they form the basis of a nice model,the starved horse effect will be improved with additional parts as required.
Some handy reference passed to me by a friend,ideal for the build.
Trays of cut and sanded parts the results of quite a few hours fettling.
Does not look much at the moment but just wait and see what a delightful subject this will build into.
More parts ,the wing ribs.
