Coming along nicely. I've been eying one of these on-line and was wondering how they built up. Looks like I might buy one now and build a bright red version.

Good stuff!

Nicely done so far Andy!

Thanks for the comments guys. Geo it's not a bad kit mate, basic, but it builds up ok without much hassle. Update for today has the top coat of what's supposed to be RAAF foliage green done. For this colour I had to make do with Tamiya IJN green from a spray can. Close enough I reckon.

That's looking good Andy. For a 35+ year old kit, it still makes into a nice representation of the Hurricane, and they got the offset fin right too, unlike some manufacturers.

 

[Wayne Little]

Well done Andy, looking good mate!

 

[dneid]

Very nice, Andy.

Thanks guys. I've got the lower sky blue painted on, I'll get some photos a bit later when it's dry.

[Wildcat]

Thanks Charles. Under sides done, brush painted. As you can see I need to do some touch up work.

 

[Airframes]

Really starting to look the part ! Not sure about this particular aircraft, but Hurricane wheel bays, and the inside of the gear doors, were normally painted silver.

 

[Wildcat]

Thanks Terry. It actually is painted silver but got covered in green overspray. I didn't mask that area cause I wasn't expecting to get green in there! Will be fixed tonight though.

 

[Airframes]

Ah, overspray. It's a bit like Jan - get's everywhere you don't want it to be!

 

[Wildcat]

yup!

Good work Andy, coming together nicely.
