Portugal National Day

 

In the 1930's Portugal bought a few Hawker Furys. The Matchbox kit is very good and it is a pity that it has not had a reissue recently.

The kit required some detailing in the cockpit and an enlargement of the radiator box. The decals are a mix of home made decals (numbers and outlines of cocardes were printed - the hound came from the P47 Santa Cruz decals sheet).

Enjoy the photos.
