R/G Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb

[plheure2]

Greetings, folks:

At least with me, every time I get near the end of a build, something always seems to go wrong. I lost one of the main wheels, never to be found, and while trimming a main gear strut, the mating peg broke off. But I found some replacement wheels from a Heller Mk IIc, and will butt-join the strut with the sheared peg to its mating hole in the gear bay. Just gotta slow down a little and be patient. I've got the decals sealed and the panel line wash done. Just gotta get those landing gear in, attach my stretched sprue antennae, and I'm done. Stay tuned for finished pics.

Sweeeeet!

Looking very good.
But the Sky S-type band on the fuselage shouldn't have been so large I'm afraid. It was of 45.7 cm (18") in width.So it is 6,347mm for 1/72 scale. Also there is something wrong with the main landing gear...but it can be my impression only.

Stunning Hurricane. I look forward to the next build

Wojtek is right about the Sky tailband, and the U/C should be raked forward, approx 25 degrees (Id need to check exact angle), but apart from that (and the yellow stripes previously mentioned) it looks rather good.

I'll be sure to check in with Wojtek and Terry before tackling another Hurricane! Especially a Mark IIb. Thanks for the comments, guys.
