Absolutely love the sentiment. It's all too easy to forget that this is a hobby first and foremost and a hobby should be something we enjoy without condition. An old, slightly rubbish kit can be just as enjoyable as the newest, most accurate and detailed kit. It was interesting to see someone with a completely different approach to a build than the one I have. It's nice to be reminded that there are so many ways of tackling a kit that will give an equally satisfying result.

I cannot tell a lie, I adore the PM Sea Furies. Sure, they're basic but with a little work they build into decent models. For a long time they were also the only game in town for a 1/72 Sea Fury and had some great decal options (delighted to see the Cuban markings in the box, I had to use AM decals for my Bay Of Pigs Fury). Also glad to see that they appear to be freely available again: the rumours on the modelling forums back in the early 2000s were that the moulds had been destroyed as part of a family dispute following the death of the company founder. Will be picking a few up really soon and having myself a great old time.

Ive got an old FROG version which I think Ill do in an Australian colour scheme, like yours, and the trainer version. I quite like them. They are simple and pretty robust kits, and like you say, fun to build. Maybe I went a bit far making my own decals, but on these occasions they were a good learning curve.

I believe (but cant know for sure) that tooling is derived from or updated from the 1960's & 70's Frog / Novo model. Wings are put together very differently (better), panel lines are recessed, but I swear the cab interior and the crude missiles are identical to the Novo one I am building (I put my rear bulkhead on top of that "bar" on the cab floor as thats how I interpreted the Novo instructions). May be wrong but it doesnt hurt to speculate aimlessly... That's a nice, quick build by the way! Australian scheme looks great on them.

Thanks for the thoughts! I do actually have a Frog Sea Fury in the stash that I got second hand, and whilst there are similarities, I think the PM Model version might have been "inspired" by the Frog version, but it doesn't seem to be a direct copy. Panel lines on frog are raised, on PM they are recessed Pilot is included in Frog, absent in PM Frog has option of folded wings, PM does not Drop tanks come in 2 parts on both, but on Frog they have a top and bottom, whilst PM have two sides that are joined Frog lower wings come in 4 parts, PM is a single part Tail surfaces on PM are single parts, and split on Frog A seperate part for the Rudder is included in the Frog, whilst it is part of the fuselage moulding on PM So yeah, whilst I think the PM kit has been inspired by the Frog kit (particularly with the engine construction, rocket design and landing gear) I think that the Frog version is distinctively different enough for it to not be a direct copy or upgrade

It's important to remember modelling like any hobby is for enjoyment therefore l avoid over engineered and over complicated kits and photo esch whenever possible simply because l find them overly fiddley and stressful and a hobby should be about fun . Probably stems from starting modelling when l was a kid in the '60's when l built Airfix ,Revell, Frog, Matchbox and Monogram Models , straightforward to build models , basic but good and this has stayed with me. Good video , nicely built and painted model and most importantly enjoyable , rewarding and fun which is what it,s all about . Cheers .
