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

A subject that I really like --

Some projects I was doing but got stalled because of the house move some time ago, they're still in the box packed away   :-[ :-X

How about a visiting swap posting, one of these in USAAC markings similar to those applied to P-6E's and a P-6E in these markings?

Or a Fury with further engine developments (either a Peregrine or a Merlin) and some of the evolutionary changes the Avia B/Bk.,534 went through (adding a canopy and, if you add B.634 changes, cantilever main struts and spatted gear).

Yes, I know it's not the monoplane Fury but it is a Fury and suitable for this thread.  Now, what was the navalized version of the biplane Fury?

High-Speed Fury and Fury II had spats; the Yugoslav Furys had cantilevered, single leg, spring-hub
Dowty gear like the Gladiator; Persian Fury had Hornet radial.

P.V.3 was Fury based with spats, steam-cooled Goshawk and four guns.

Nimrod was the RN equivalent of the Fury and while extremely similar is actually a separate design,
Nimrod II had swept wings.

Hmm, a P.V.3 with a Peregrine and cleaned-up radiator installation?

Or, how about a Yugoslav Fury with a canopy?  Either one similar to the Hurricane or one similar to that of the Gladiator.

... probably a canopy like that of the "Fury Monoplane", part of the studies that led to the Hurricane.
Peregrine engined BTW.  ;)

For the original Fury ... mustn't forget apophenia's monoplane version:

For the "Tempest Light Fighter" Fury and its Sea Fury development, a Napier Sabre (either Tempest I or V configuration) sounds like a good idea to me.

Since someone mentioned Apophenia, are there any news from him? Is he getting better?

Thanks for asking Vuk! Alive and kicking ... albeit with all the strength of a new-born kitten  :P

I did a version of the original Jet Fury concept on Secret Projects. I'll see if I can retriev the artwork.

Australia licence produces the Seafury for the RAN FAA but with the start of the Korean war starts building Furies for the RAAF as a CAS aircraft to replace the Mustangs.  Or even better make that Furies as a CAS for Army Aviation, pending the availability of the intended Hawker Hawks.

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:

 :)  Ah huh.

In my delusional mind I have air arms for the Army, Navy and Marines, as well as of course the RAAF and cross overs between them.  So Fury Seafury for the Army, RAN and possibly marines is a thought I have had.  The RAAF at this point would have been deploying Vampire, Hawk etc. though may have adopted the Fury as a ground attack type assuming they still had the role.
