Re: New Captive Eagle

Cool P-38. I never saw this ME-109.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Cool P-38. I never saw this ME-109.

The only thing I could find out about an aircraft in similar markings were
Unit: ex-9FG
Serial: ex-Romainan 31 (W.Nr.66130 [66139 ?])
On 28 August 1944 Romanian pilot Cpt. av. ® Cantacuzino flew this aircraft with American prisoner lt. col. James Gunn III to Italy. Aircraft was left with the American's and after some flights was destroyed.

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.

Thumbs up Re: New Captive Eagle


You betcha!!! I reckon this is the best looking Sea Fury yet! I've wanted one but not yet committed. This one is a no brainer, just got to get it! Guess that means I got to have the HB Mig 21 to go with it.
