To go with my Special Hobby Firefly AS.6 I am building the Hobbycraft Sea Fury OOB with no mods at all at this stage. I have another one in the stash that I plan to build with the Cutting Edge exterior set that may end up as a RCN version.

The model was cleaned up then given a coat of Mr Surfacer 1200 prior to the first coat of Humbrol 90 Matt Beige Green. In comparison to the Hu23 Duck Egg Blue I used on the Firefly it is more the colour I am after as the Hu23 is too blue I reckon.

David, so far so good. Looks like there is very little touch ups to take care of. Looking forward to your next update.

Here is the completed model. It is OOB apart from using Aussie Decals markings, I have done no weathering as I plan to do that with the other HC Sea Fury in the stash and the Trumpeter kit I have.
