GB-63 1/48 Hurricane Mk.I – Stormy Weather

[N4521U]

,

Yep, the "headrest" part is the head/back armour plate, and should be forward of the half bulkhead at the front of the "doghouse".

Thing is, the cockpit assy has holes in the framework that match Pins on the sidewall of the fuselage. This is the result I got mating these. Not a factor with resin replacement.

Good stuff so Far Bill, and yes, the escape hatch on the starboard side wasn't hinged. It was a "knock out" panel, released by a lever inside and then jettisoned.

I had found this in my search for WT?

Quite a gap on those gun inserts. Have you checked they're the correct orientation, side for side (although it looks like they'll still have gaps.) ?

Over and over, the holes are on the Upper half of the wing, lined up with shell chutes Under. No other way to place them.

I will prevail!!!!!!

I have been sneaking in some work, now and then.
Firts my gun shroud cover, some card to fill the gap.
Then used some of my spru slurry to fill some sinking.

Now this resin cockpit, WTAF????? I have already removed about 2mm
from the bottom of the assembly and look at the Bloody gap!!!!!
Wheel well tops inside the fuselage, other arrow is the bottom of c-pit!

Doesn't anyone else have these issues?????????????????????????

Had resin problems with my Ki.43. Lots of fiddling about and grinding

 

[Crimea_River]

Plenty of instances on my part where I've carved lots of plastic to make things fit. All part of the "fun".....

Well done Bill and as we say here in France: "Je ponce donc je suis" => "I sand therefore I am"
As said by Andy, This is part of the "joys" of this passion

Definitely sounds better in French. You should hear it in the original Klingon.

Nice work so far!

 

[N4521U]

Well so far I have THIS.............................. the bottom of the cockpit floor!
and I am Still 1mm shy of getting the wing tops to align wit the fuselage!!!
I am getting a bit perturbed by it all....................

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That there floor is looking a bit thin.

 

[Crimea_River]

Don't perturb yourself. Lots of meat left!

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Bill!

[SaparotRob]

Reminds me of the floor boards of my '71 Valiant.
