1/48 Hurricane Mk I – Mediterranean Theatre of Operations

Vic Balshaw · Nov 10, 2014

Many thanks for looking in chaps. It's been another good productive day to the point of almost being ready for spraying. As you can see, all the main bits are on as well as some of the smaller parts like oil cooler and nose air scoop. Had a couple of seam fit problems with the wing fit but this was soon overcome with a bit of plastic card, some filler and nail polish remover to clean up. I've also blanked off the gun ports, figuring that with this being a local modification to remove the guns and fit fuel tanks, they would not have plugged the ports. My reasoning being that this is Malta at its hour of need and the aircraft could well have been returned to its fighter role.

Really steaming along there Bic. You might need to pull another one out for this GB.

Thanks again guys and no worries Andy, I've already pull something out of the hat, just you watch them new entries.

More good progress today, all the spraying is done and a couple of coats of protection applied though a couple more would not go astray. Next up we start the decaling and the rundown process.
