Mk 11C Hurricane winter build

Hi Guy's
I thought some members would like to follow my build thread of my hurricane.I have been playing with the idea for many years to build a large true scale hurricane,but decent large scale plans were hard to find.So when Tony Nijhuis released his plans for a 1/4.5 scale 103" span hurircane it had to be done.
It wil be powered by a Zenoah 62 petrol lump as these are heavy engines and will help with the c of g as with most warbirds,they tend to be tail heavy.I hope to put the canopy on rails so it will slide so i can hide all the switces inside.Scale air up and down undercrackers with true scale oleo's and landing lights.
I will upload some pic's shortly to get the ball rolling

Iv put the kitchen roll in the picture to give some scale to the fin and rudder

Seem to be having trouble uploading pic's

Like your subject - It would be great to have some large scale aircraft at Cashmoor.

There is no doubting the Zenoah's suitability in such aircraft but I've glanced at TN's website and there are several engine parts protruding from the cowl - What do you think to the DLE 55 rear exhaust + lead ?

I think it's going to be a compromise,as getting the c of g with a lightweight petrol motor will be difficult without adding loads of unwanted lead..Im hoping to keep the rear as light as poss so to avoid too much lead.I have carefully selected the balsa to try and save some weight .
