High Planes 1/72 Seafury racer "critical Mass"

Postby oz rb fan » Mon Jul 24, 2023 1:13 am

my current project and next racer build....high Planes kit of Critical Mass...or as it was known in the 90's"the great round hope"...Strega and Dago red dominated the racing at the time and while fast Rare Bear was fragile if it raced at all so Tom Dwelles seafury was a big thing for us round engine fans.

it's a typical highplanes kit of the period...a lot of cleaning up to do but over all not a bad kit.

when you put it next to a stock seafury there isn't alot left.

Nice paint and scheme, I had to go back to see the comparison shot with a standard Sea Fury as it looked a tad different
