Great job

Cheers I skipped some of the wires to the fuselage because there wasn't enough room for my fat fingers. Got most of them though.

This is a great concept. Can hardly wait to see the finished product.

Finished, I think it came out quite well for what started out as a joke.

 

[Snautzer01]

Very nice .
I will sharpen the stake and chop some wood now

 

[vikingBerserker]

I have to admit, it actually looks pretty nice.

 

[Airframes]

I agree, and quite convincing too.

Looks like Fairey stole my idea.

Fairey Fantome

Well, Fairey could have used all the help it could get in the beauty department. Nicely done.

How dare you have you forgotten the beautiful Fairey He..... I mean the Fairey Ba.... no no I mean the Fairey Al..... Yeah fair enough

That's dope! It looks like a D.520 without the top wing. Just one question: What armament is it going to have?

Those tails look like there are from a Curtis P-36

Armament is 4 X .303 machine guns same as the Gladiator. 2 under the lower wings in fairings and 2 firing through the propeller. The first Hurricane had 2 mg's alongside the RR Merlin engine so I just copied the position. You can just see the gun ports beneath the prop hub.

Interwar RAF fighters had some colourful paint schemes. Each squadron would have it's own scheme as long as the aircraft was Silver dope overall the squadron could go nuts with the paint brush on the tail, wings and sides. It was probably a form of recruitment advertising at airshows I suppose.

Well done ! Such a great concept for a kit-bash.
Wish I was that creative.

 

[Grant Barr]

Great kit-bash. Turned out really well in the end.

Turned out very nice. I really enjoyed this build

Thanks I am on the lookout for some cheap and cheerful kits to give me inspiration for new mash ups. Possibly coming soon a radial engined Spitfire or Hurricane. Or something that has always intrigued me a jet engine Lancaster.
