Colin Leighfield Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Isn’t Daithi’s photo the Fury 2, different in a number of ways? The cowl fastening is probably the same though. I’ve got neodymium magnets holding both canopy hatch and lower cowling on the Depron Super Marauder. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi gents, Here are a few pics of K1930 from the Landuyt Collection in Wevelgem, Belgium. In fact it's the one shown on Danny's Westburg drawings. As Daithi wrote there are no hinges for the cowl, just a top and bottom row of 5 Dzus fasteners - plus a third Dzus at the back end - for each side panel. The top panel is removed in one piece and is showing some Dzus fixings around its perimeter. Here you can see the top panel sitting on the ground and a side panel resting against the right wheel. The cockpit bottom panels are using the same system for fixation. Note the cowl 'ring' remaining in place just behind the spinner. For those interested, there are some more pics in my Fury album.

Colin Leighfield Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I’ve just realised that I described Daithi’s photo as a Fury 2, it is actually a High Speed Fury, quite different and didn’t go Into production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daithi O Buitigh Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I know it was the High Speed version but I posted the photo because it was the only one I had where the Dzus fasteners could be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Thanks Daithi, what a great photo and another good candidate for a model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 We now have a new Sub Forum. Thanks to Beth Ashby Hawker Fury Mk1 - RAF's Finest Biplane! Hope the Sub-forum title doesn't upset the pedants too much.. This post has also been moved into the new sub-forum in Workshop.. You now post here with your plans for your chosen model/variant and when ready create your build blogs. It would be nice to see a post from each builder stating which particular aircraft they are planning to build Not long to go now folks..

Ernie Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi Danny and the Fury guys Here is the artwork (unfinished) for the acid etching for the metal bits for the fury. I've included some that are not absolutely necessary because the minium size that can be processed is what I've shown. There are quite a few extra clips, and bits fir the windscreen etc. There is still a wee bit left, so if anyone has ideas how to fill it, please let me know;; I can make any changes as long as they are sensible ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi Ernie, the etcher will thank you profusely if you can mask off that big white area and make it black as this will be 'expensive' (in chemicals) and very time consuming to etch. Perhaps also duplicate some smaller pieces as spares? Apart from that, it looks fantastic.

Colin Leighfield Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Amazing! Good one Ernie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Excellent Ernie! Can I make a suggestion that you double up on the foldy bits, When I fold metal I always screw a few up? Might be worth having a couple to practice on?? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 ahh I have just seen you have included extra...... doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks Martyn, Yes I''ll do that, Its never been mentioned before Re folding, They etch from both sides, so I can get a groove etched on one side. I'm a wee bit wary in case it affects the structural integrity. Also, I've got a wee device that helps with this. I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow.L I think it cale from Multirex here in France ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Really amazing job indeed, Ernie. As per Danny's and Martyn's writing, It would be better to have some 'spares' anyway instead of having a white - read empty - space left over. Especially if the final price is the same. Regarding the 'folding' bits, why not having a standard full set together with another one with the 'folding' zone etched. We then could use the best/easiest set for the job. As I know absolutely nothing about acid etching, I'm very probably talking total rubbish (again). Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Good morning I was intending to fill that big white bit. I think I've covered the essentials, so any idea what I might put in it? ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
