Nice one Igor, good choice mate.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and for taking interest.
I'm kinda concentrated on finishing my Wildcat model in PTO GB these days, so I still haven't started work on the Hurricane. Only thing I did so far was washing all the parts. According to the illustration and info on particular Hurricane which model I wish to build some parts of the kit like drop tanks or bombs will remain unused. Serious work on this model fallowed with appropriate progress photos will start hopefully soon...

Looks pretty detailed Igor!

 

[Wayne Little]

Look a bit of alright actually!

I agree, it looks like a very nice kit, as good as some 1/48th kits from what I can see. There's no rush Igor, as you've got four months, and the stuff I've sent will certainly help with the cockpit and detail work I think, so have a look at that before you start.

 

[imalko]

Cheers mates! Will do just that Terry.

Very nice kit. I did that one earlier in the year and loved it.

The only issue I had was that the Chin filter didn't fit... At all... May be different in your kit.

I'll be watching.. Enjoy!

I didn't know the Yugoslav's in the RAF could mark their planes with their national insignia. Very cool interesting. Good luck with the build!

I love the RAF desert scheme, this hurricane is gonna look cool! 8)

Terry, those PDF files you have sent me on CD (and which arrived today) contain some pretty great and interesting stuff. They will prove very useful. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I guess that now I have some reading to do before I start working on my Hurricane model...

 

[Airframes]

Ah! Glad to hear the stuff eventually arrived! I hope the props come in useful.

Time for first few progress photos (finally), me thinks. Not much cockpit details in 1/72 scale I'm afraid. For instrument panel I used instrument decals provided with the kit...

 

[Wurger]

Keep working. Looking great Igor.

Great work Igor, looking good. The cockpit will look fine in this scale, and the instrument panel looks the part, well done mate!
