Hi Everyone,

While browsing through the stash I came across an old Matchbox Hawker Fury that I started and suitably ruined when I was younger and an Encore PZL P.24, an awful kit that would require too much work to make it look decent. So I decided to put the two together and I'm quite pleased with how it is turning out; note the spats, an homage to Brian da Basher. So without further adieu, the yet unnamed gull wing fighter:

Interior is pretty basic, just added a control stick and masking tape seatbelts.

Somehow, I think BdB has serious competition from me as to who is jumping up and down the highest!   

That is fantastic!!!!!

Yowsa that's gorgeous, Chap! It looks like PZL trying to improve upon the PZL-24. Maybe finish it in Turkish markings? Call it the PZL-25?

I think I'm in love.

That really does look nice, looks like its moving when its standing still and would look great as a racer too, super idea.  :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

Fury's fuselage is absolute beauty and PZL's wings are cool. So this project will be a marvel, I am sure :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

JMN hat on
BTW: this is high wing not parasol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasol_wing
JMN hat off
Will die without understanding this world.

I wouldn't call that being a JMN, thank you Carlos for the correction.

Update: Radiator and struts are now on.
