Trumpeter 01631 - 1/72 - Hawker Sea Fury FB.11  [TP01631]

Initial water Fury model, running on a Bristol Centaurus XII, had first flown on 21 February 1945, however the very first fully-navalized version with foldable wings didn't travel until 12 October 1947. The Boulton Paul contract was cancelled in very early 1945, and for the 100 water Furies that stayed on purchase, the initial 50 were completed under the designation Sea Fury Mk X. In May 1948, the initial water Furies became operational with No. 802 Squadron, by means of the ocean Fury FB.Mk 11, of which 615 were built. At the very least 66 among these had been brought to Australia and Canada. Early in the Korean war, water Furies operated really successfully in the ground assault part from the decks of Royal Navy aircraft carriers. The RN also received 60 two-seat T.Mk 20 trainers in very early 1950s. Water Furies had been exported a number of other nations, like the Netherlands, Pakistan, Egypt, Burma, Cuba and Iraq.
