appy5437 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi fellas! No internet for a few days, but back on now. So I can get my thread started... this is is what I'll be building. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t524/chief5437/6EA1364B-37C1-47AC-BD8C-447A7DEBE875_zpsopyotaxa.jpg All looks in order, no flash anywhere. Although the lower wing looks a little warped, hopefully no too bad.made a start on the cockpit.http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t524/chief5437/5F426ED2-A686-45E6-BC4F-7A3E0F7F9506_zpslvx4evts.jpg And here it is on the lower wing. Nice detail, shame it won't be seen! http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t524/chief5437/56BA6458-D547-440B-9E57-AEAD212DA4A9_zpsl3ld1nai.jpg first problem to deal with... http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t524/chief5437/D00F207F-F91F-4BCD-88A3-392B510D254D_zpsm8pj1gpl.jpg A little persuasion with clamps and some filler, done. http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t524/chief5437/46FB0A71-3E6B-49B5-BEDF-0494A7FDAC13_zpsqhi1zitu.jpg canopy to mask next and we're ready for some paint! I have noticed that the leading edge of the tail is off centre to the left. Is this normal for hurricanes? thanks for looking guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yes, the fin and rudder would be offset to counter the torque from the engine a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJC Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I am in the process of building the 1/48 Hurricane myself. The wing lamps (where the notches are as you can see) looked dull and flat with simple silver paint as suggested. Whether it's correct I don't know, but with some PVA and some shiny tinfoil I burnished it into the lamps then trimmed it to the circular lamp shape. With the clear covers on, it actually looks effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appy5437 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 @Pretty mediocre modeller, I did wonder if that was why, but never seen it before. Thanks For the info. @David, cool idea for the lights, might give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiracleMasks Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That looks good 😀I'm currently building one of these, a very nice kit indeed. I did struggle a little to get a goot fit between the fuselage and wings and trimming a very small amount from the forward edge of the little step of the lower fuselage, that fits behind the upper wing piece, made for a much better fit. I do think that it was down to me though. However I still have a slight step where the front edge of the wing meets the lower front fuselage. I had to cut away the dropped down portion of the forward bulkhead to relieve the "springing that I had at the front, again down to me. It is all looking very good though.For the landing lights I simply painted the rear of them in chrome silver, except the locating pin which then ends up looking like a bulb . I lost one of them and ended up scratch building it.I intend to finish mine as a Finish machine (an Aircraft from Finland 😉 ) I will be paintin on the markings 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
