Mk 11C Hurricane winter build

Ok chap's,hope you had a good christmas Right hand outer wing panel uderway

Right hand panel glued to centre section.In the second picture you will see that i have left a 3/32 gap between the 2 ply ribs in the middle section of the wing tube on the right hand panel so after sheeting the top surface it will act as a guide for a hack saw blade to cut through the wing joiner and spars to make a 3 piece wing after doing the same with the left hand outer panel.You could i suppose sheet the wing in 3 separate panels but doing it the way i have, will make sure everything stays inline,the last thing you need is a badly fitting wing joint on the wing tubes.

A bit more done

Wheel wells cut out and outer flaps underway

Well the airframe is complete next step is to put it all together for the first time,check all is okay give it a good fill and rub down and a coat of clearcoat at to the airframe and think about getting some text ironed on woooohoooo

Nice one Pete

Thanks Dave

Looks like you're really cracking on Pete. I love that 'ready to cover' stage of a build

Keep the photos coming!

It was always my intention to get the airframe ready to cover early 2015 so hopefully it will be ready to paint early spring.I'v missed a few good flying day's stuck in the workshop but i am sure it will be worth it.I was hoping to get her in the garden this week to give it a good rub down and take some pics but looks like the weather is not playing ball Still need to pluck up courage and part with £850 for the bespoke retracts :ohmy: shame a set of E-flight will not fit LOL
