Re: New Captive Eagle

The Iraqi Sea Fury is nice looking. However, I think I would prefer a Cuban Sea Fury as shown in the latest issue of Flight Journal magazine. It played a key defensive role in the Bay of Pigs invasion.

BTW, notice the monochrome rockets under the wings? Just like those on the RAN Sea Furies, they somewhat detract from the model - IMHO. After discussing this in a previous thread, I did some research (and got some help here) to get the correct color for the ordnance. After painting the rockets (which was not easy as the paint had a problem adhering to the paint on the model) the model looks MUCH better and more realistic.
