So i am moving this to the Zombie Build so i am "forced" to complete it!!!!!
As if I don't already have enough in S2F!
I just felt like doing a large scale build. Since I couldn't find a Hurricane Mk.1,
this is the next one I would pick. Not many P-40B's in 1/32 so it's a Trumpeter,
new kit, old dies and it has it's drawbacks.
A few extras to make things easier to detail.

Lotsa flashing to make it a bother as in the photo of the engine mount frames.
Some places need a scalpel to clean-up. A bit of a nuisance.

There are some exhaust aftermarket pieces, good ones unavailable.
Others too bloody expensive. These two photos show what I have
to work with from the kit. An hour was spent on the first and second ones.

I do have a lot if the engine parts together and painted. They parts are
nicely pinned so as not to get them mixed up. Same die flash tho.

The parts are nicely detailed as well. Over all, time will tell.
AVG markings, paint will be easy, just like my GB entry.
Off we go.
