The Sea Fury was a fighter aircraft developed for the British Fleet Air Arm by Hawker during World War II. The last propeller-driven fighter to serve the Royal Navy, it was also the fastest production single piston-engined aircraft ever built.
Designed to meet an Air Ministry/Admiralty requirement for a lightweight version of the Tempest, the Sea Fury was first flown on September 1st, 1944. It was an exceptional aircraft—tough in the attack role and one of the fastest single piston-engined aircraft ever built—but it was too late to see action in WWII. The Sea Fury carried a variety of munitions and delivery was extremely accurate; one Sea Fury shot down a MiG-15 during the Korean War. The last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy, the Sea Fury also served prominently with other nations including Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Egypt. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Witty Wings’ 1:72 scale Hawker Sea Fury is constructed almost entirely of solid diecast metal. The models in this series feature distinct-yet-subtle panel lines and rivets, an uncommon feature in diecast metal (usually only seen on plastic models). The near solid fuselage has an all-metal empennage, a bubble canopy for easy viewing of the pilot figure and a sleek, five-bladed propeller and hub that blends seamlessly with the engine cowling. The solid metal wing has 20mm cannon ports on the leading edge, sturdy fixed landing gear and a variety of wing mounted drop tanks and ordnance loads. Releases in this series include the single-seat fighter-bomber and two-seat trainer variants.
