That screenshot is superb, Roger.....but it got me thinking! Does anyone else think that the pilot is a bit small? The Fury was a small aircraft and he looks about the size of a 9 year old child in there.

There have been a few aircraft in the past where that has been a real issue like the A2A B17 which they rectified but I don't see this as an issue in the Fury. Looking from above the pilot couldn't afford to be much wider or else you'd need a can opener to get him out! Also the look of the pilot and his posture seem awfully realistic to me.

I agree - and I am impressed with the fact that the VC appeared dark as I have just read an article by a display pilot who says that it is dark because he fills the hole!!
 
Aren't perceptions funny? Most images of the 30's are in black and white, so Roger's picture above of the Fury in monochrome looks more realistic than it would in colour! :icon_lol: Beautiful screenshot Roger - almost brooding in impact.

Building the Fury took longer than most projects- not wise in hindsight but worth it nonetheless. I think I had about as much fun building the EZ.

Also having as much fun with an upcoming project.. :monkies:

T'wouldn't have 4 whirly thingies up front perchance. :)
 
Rog, these are spectacular pix, and I am really having a hard time resisting the purchase (like most things, I think I will wimp out and buy them). The Fury is gorgeous.

Looks like the Fury alone would be pretty good at that price, from the screenshots, just think as the others as free in that case, sort of a bonus! Nice shots Roger! :ernae:
 
Thank you for light entries Roger!

I've been slowly working on a repaint for the Tempest. She sure is a beauty and very, very well constructed!

Since this pics were taken, I have fixed the paint in the front under the spinner.

That looks spectacular Rob, I can't wait to see it when it's finished. I've been desperate for a "clean" warbird-esque repaint for the Tempest for quite some time now.
