    Very neat paint job! Well done!

    Do the black & white lines on the bottom of the wings mean that this plane is in a Normandy invasion setting?

    Thanks. Re the black/white lines, they have nothing to do with the normandy landings, although they are similar in appearance, the black portions are actually narrower than the white. Normandy Stripes where usually roughly applied and more or less of equal size, to the wings tops/ bottom, fuselage in various combinations. The stripes on this particular Tempest were actually initially applied to Typhoons as recognition markings for anti-aircraft gunners, the typhoon was being mistaken for a Fw190. In retrospect, I think a should have made the white portions a tad wider.

    Joseph,

    Are you sure that the Sea Fury undercarriage bays were sky in colour? Trumpeter says that they are silver, but the photos I found seems to suggest more that they were sky, and that's what I was going to finish them in also. Sea furies in musuems also tend towards a sky finish but I do not trust these as there are several aircraft in museums that are painted incorrectly!
    By the way, I cannot but add to praise your work, and the varied choice of subjects as well! I wish they scale down that Shenyang to 72nd some day.

    Regards,
    Gordon.

    thanks for the comment. From the pictures I have seen, the wheel well/doors look to have been the underside color (sky), with the wheel hub/leg in aluminium. Other fleet air arm fighters of the same era, namely the wyvern and seahawk, according to the reference I came across had the wheel wells/door painted in sky with wheel hubs/leg in aluminium. In this case I went by an educated guess using the pictures avaliable and from what was used on other aircraft of the era, including hawker aircraft.

    p.s. - searching the web did not provide a complete confirmation about the sea fury wheel bay color, as the stated colors range from bare metal, to zinc chromate yellow and underside color (sky).

    This may be a post war pic and not a restored aircraft, and the door looks green with aluminum hubs...
