Introduction
The Hawker Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft
developed by Hawker Siddeley for the Royal Navy
during the Second World War. The Sea Fury was
designed as a single piston engine, propeller-driven
fighter for aircraft carrier take-offs and landings. It is
known for being one of the fastest single piston engine
aircraft ever built, and, while it arrived too late for
service during WWII, it did serve admirably during
the Korean War. The most well-known historical event
for the Hawker Sea Fury was on August 9, 1952,
when Lieutenant Peter “Hoagy” Carmichael of the
Royal Navy shot down a MiG-15 jet-powered fighter
in combat. This was one of very few piston-engine
powered fighters to successfully engage a turbine-
powered adversary. The E-flite ® Hawker Sea Fury 480
ARF has since been reproduced to offer a lightweight,
durable and easily repairable Z-Foam ™ construction
that comes complete with accurately molded panel
lines and a factory-painted and installed cockpit, pilot
figure and canopy.For additional scale detail, optional
factory finished rockets and retractable landing gear
can also be installed. This 450 to 480-sized aircraft
boasts factory-installed spars, hinges, and control
horns.
