[jamierd]

is definately a mark 2 kit terry cannon fairings wing blisters and all .backplate arrived this morning hows that for service only phoned at lunchtime yesterday

That's what I call good service!! It's a pity Revell didn't at least provide the correct prop for a Mk1 though. I might still get one, to build 'wheels up', and with a decent pilot figure in the cockpit and a 'baln' prop, as if flying, to go with the JU88 for the museum. It just seems a bit of a con, to release an old kit at this price, which isn't what it's supposed to be.

elevators werent cemented in at that point although there will be a fair amount of filling to be done particularly the wing joints they are horrendous

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I remember those wing to fuselage joints! Fortunately, the joint was actually visible on the Hurricane, but it will need some sanding and filling to get it right.

 

[jamierd]

got some more done prop assembled and painted wings and tailplanes on radiotor flap opened added some detail opener thingys for the radiator flap and some other rods that can be seen in there also gave the airbrush a try its wicked cant believe how quickly the painting was done unfortunately its dark here so you will have to wait till tomorow for pics

Thingy (noun) technical things i dont know the name of

 

[Airframes]

Ah, they could be 'widgets' or maybe 'doobries'!!!

 

[jamierd]

Love it! Nice work!

 

[Airframes]

Great work Jamie, possibly the best I've seen for a first attempt with an airbrush!

 

[jamierd]

i always thought they were kind of vague but i played with it for a bit and found i can get a line about 1.5mm thick or a 5cm wide spray spent more time playing on an old box trying things out than i did painting the hurricane .is definately the best 10 quid i eveer spent now i will need to get a compressor and more paint coz if it dont move it gettin sprayed lol

 

[Airframes]

Have a look at this place for a compressor Jamie, it's where I got my current airbrush. They've got a good range, at very reasonable prices. Mine's only a basic thing (bought at Model Hobbies) normally just called the 'Baby Elephant'(!), which was about £40or less IIRC, and it works just great. They've got the same one, plus better stuff with regulator etc, although they now do an in-line regulator for mine too.

They're in southern England, and nice to deal with, and shipping is very reasonable and fairly quick.
