Thank you Guy, I have done a few Spitfires and 109s recently but this is my first Hurricane, a pleasure to work on this aircraft - I will be sure to do other ones!

I am still not sure how I will tackle the green camo squiggly lines of green, paint method wise...
6 February, 00:16

Nearly done. To do - flat clear coat, canopy and antenna wire.

Done... Normally I would take the aircraft outside and put it on a mirror, but there is SO MUCH SNOW - have to settle for a table in the basement...

Another boot sale build. I got new aftermarket decals, A few missing parts but no show stoppers. This release was from the 1970s.
17 January, 19:37

Almost finished. Not a bad little model. I needed to make my own exhausts and the air intake. Colour turned out ok.
25 January, 19:09

Finished. Too much SNOW outside to take a picture in the sunshine..

This will be a totally fictional experiment and historically inaccurate. An incomplete kit picked up from a boot sale.

This is no longer a Gloster Gladiator but a Gloster Rudiator...
29 December 2024, 19:07

Fiction is done. A modified Gloster Gladiator - landing gear and 3 blade prop. Republican tried to strafe the 109 but flew too slow and magically bounced and landed in between the branches of the tree...

Chris - about the canopy - I had the same question for you. My kit had the Malcolm hood oob. It must be a different issue of the kit. The reference drawing for P51 B VFU is for May 1944. The pilot was shot down in May '44 and was a POW. - about the 'really quick': I have SLOWED down. This was a 3 week effort. I came back to the hobby after a 40+ year pause. Last year when I restarted I was doing a model a week! -I could not keep up that pace as I would run out of room for the finished models. Now I pause a few days, clean up my workspace and start again.

ALMOST complete. The optional rigging instructions showed 30 lines. I used 20 (did not double up in the front). A little more touch ups and add the engine and on to the next. The next model will be my first with PHOTO ETCH...

Generally happy with the results. *Need to work on rigging in general...
*I did have a bright yellow acrylic but it would not stick well on the primer. I ended up using the Tamiya yellow green and the coating was good - just not 'yellow yellow'.
*The ordering of the wrong decals was a bummer. Also - recap - the first time I had two models on the go. Today was a cold but sunny day. A good day to take the 'official' portraits outside.

OK, I see that the front machine gun on my model is on the upper side of the canopy blister, while the painting shows it...

While I wait for the decals for the Stearman Kaydet, this is the first time I will have two models 'on the go...'!

Nearing completion. Added machine guns in the groove, grooves on cowling, and braces on fuselage in front of cockpit. Saw those details in a 1/48 scale kit of this aircraft.

Complete. Still getting used to EASYLine for antenna cable..

Not bad for a 50+ year old kit. Could not have done it without decal film. The decals were not yellowed but did look 'dry'... Kit complete and 'flying'.

I just read that there were only 9 (or 10) built. None saw action (except in simulations now..)
11 July 2024, 20:31

Since none saw action I was uncertain of weathering. I did some highlighting which turned into some wear and tear. The yellow round decals were delicate and the upper port circle was torn just by a touch of a finger (trying to flatten a wrinkle). The red circle on top hid the blemish but it shows as the depressed area it is.

Almost finished. My longest build so far. I thought it would be a simple quick assembly!

My local model club, members who submit to events, have discussions about "What is" a Diorama, Vignette, or simply a Base.... You submit to the wrong class or define your creation incorrectly - oh well! I enjoy the process, the journey not the destination
