To begin with, what about a Sea Fury with the Napier Sabre (incl chin radiator) of the Hawker Tempest V?

This?

Didn't Marks V and VI have the same cowling? What is inside the scoop was different.

Photos I've seen of the two would show a smoother radiator housing to engine cowling on the Mk.VI. The sides of the radiator on the Mk.VI seem to go straight up rather than the 'double-bubble' look on the Mk.V. However it could be an optical illusion -------

Hawker Sea Fury equiped with Hs293. Two different locations. Aft seat is for bomb operator. Not in constant scale however; bomb has been reduced to 75%. So a new reduced Hs293 equivalent must be developed.

Is this canopy correct? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_Sea_Fury#/media/File:Cuban_Air_Force_Hawker_Sea_Fury.jpg

Having seen that one up close, in person...not in the least bit.

Cheers,

How about a Piper Enforcer-style redesign?

Those photos are from 2005/06 and unfortunately that model is long gone. However, not too long ago someone sent me another Frog Sea Fury...

What if the ADF decided to standardise on fighters early on with the result that the RAN FAA and RAAF ended up with a common new fighter (yeah, I know the dates don't quite work out) in the form of the Sea Fury/Fury. This might see a Sea Fury/Fury in the following type of scheme:

I have a decal sheet for A68-107 that I rediscovered today...maybe I should start looking for a Sea Fury kit in 1/72...

With the released of the very nice new tool 1/72 KP Typhoon and Tempest kits add a dash of the Trumpeter and PM Sea Furies and the LF models Tempest MK.I conversion, you get a who new range of options.
Some of the KP kits come with both Typhoon and Tempest parts like the Matchbox II/VI kit.

For example:

Tempest MK.II with a PM Sea Fury tail to make a new version of the Fury
Tempest MK.II with a PM Sea Fury T.20 cockpit
Sea Fury with the LF models Tempest MK.I conversion
Sea Fury with a Fury tail (no hook)
Sea Fury, Fury and Tempest with new armament options

And so on.

LF models Tempest MK.I conversion. From the internet,.

JAYS Models also produces the old Ventura 1/72 Tempest Mk.I conversion in injection which consists of a complete new fuselage and leading edge radiators.
