Mk 11C Hurricane winter build

Terrific Pete, I'd be crosseyed after the first hour, but what a WOW effect you achieve.

Thanks Dante,I was a bit tired when I went too bed last night after 12 hours of glueing the rivet heads on.I hope to get the primer on tomorrow and then fit her out with radio etc.It is my intention to get the hurricane up the field for Jon to inspect and hopefully give me the ok and I will test fly whilst it is still in primer.

Managed to get some primer on the airframe

Wow! Looks brilliant, well done

Started to do a bit of weathering

Well 500 hours of work and the hurricane will be ready to take to cashmoor on Sat for Jon to hopefully sign off the paperwork for the build and radio install
Finished the weathering to- day and will be cutting the paint mask's tonight for the roundels to be painted on tomoz.Had a real disaster this afternoon with the canopy,spilt thinners all over it :evil: ruined so a replacement is on order.I found some pictures a while ago of the full size hurricane i am modelling and it was in a very weathered state and i thought that's for me,as it had 14 kills to it's name it had been around for a while.Another thing i had noticed after looking at hundreds of pictures of the full size is how badly finished some of them were,i know they were not expected to last long but still surprised me a little,the spitfire on the other hand was very neat and tidy.
Anyway i am trying to replicate all of this in my hurricane and so far i'm pretty pleased with it.Will get some pic's uploaded when the roundels are on.
