Matt Roberts Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Dutch, Canadian and Aussies all flew them off of carriers the others (forgot about Germany - thought they were only Seahawks) were either de-navalized Seafurys or Furys. If they were denavalized I think it was just a matter of leaving off the hook, Furys (or is that Furies) had a differant tail that didn't have a cut out at the bottom for the hook - I think! Now everyone chime in and tell me where I am wrong! Believe it or not the Hobbycraft 48ths were pretty good markings wise for the various schemes of the Sea Furys. I don't think I remember Pakistani, Iraqi, Burmese or West German markings. I've built Bay of Pigs Cuban, Korean FAA and have ones for a Canadian and a Dutch one in the stash.

EF Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have no idea, there's no other text in the instruction sheet. You know this is not my subject. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Sean One more!- Morocco. Warpaint #16 on the Sea Fury has a profile of one in natural metal with a red spinner. The writeup says four were presented to Morocco by Iraq in 1960. Apparently they were all sold into the US in 1978... Re: The Cuban machines FAEC stands for Fuerza Aerea del Ejercito de Cuba (as they were marked Pre-revolution)- I believe I've seen some decals that have FAER ostensibly for "Revolucion"- as used after the regime fell, but I think the markings were changed fairly quickly to the overall dark green with small yellow "FAR" codes. Pictures are quite lacking! You're probably aware of this but Aeromaster has issued various sheets with markings for Cuba, Burma and Iraq. The Warpaint book is a good reference overall but only has a few pics covering foreign operators, plus a profile or two for each. Cheers, A Edited September 28, 2006 by Andrew A.
