The Airfix kit
If you are interested in the development of the kit, you can follow it more fully on the Airfix Workbench blog
Using their LIDAR scanning technology and 3D computer rendering Airfix have excelled themselves once again.
3D computer CAD designs are the order of the day for the modern kit manufacturer.
In true Airfix tradition the box art (at the head of this review) is stunning, depicting a pair of Sea Fury aircraft attacking a target I must assume during the Korean War era.
Let’s go inside
Beneath the lid of the sturdy tray-type packaging lies a plethora of plastic.
Moulded in light grey styrene, as we have become accustomed to seeing with Airfix’s recent releases, there are five main sprues and one of clear parts.
Some sprue gates are a little thick, so take care removing the parts.
The level of detail is refined, certainly the panel lines on the main fuselage and wings is very effective and the raised detail in the wheel bay is pretty impressive.
With the option to have the wings folded, there are inserts to facilitate this with raised detail of the internals.
