Lancman Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Need a distraction from the vacs and I have been waiting for Matt to finish his Hurri So I thought I would join this group build with a kit I have had for ages and just recently aquired some new decals for it as the kit ones are crap. I will be building it as a No. 1 Squad Hurri flown by Fl. Lt. Karel Kuttelwascher who scored 18 victories but mine will be how it was at 10. Graham.

Lancman Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Made a start, opened the hole in the seat for the harness and adding detail to the grip on the stick. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancman Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Slow progress but here we are and just how good the fit is there's no glue holding the plastic parts together, and sorry for the crappy pic. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javlin1 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Graham doing an injection kit?had to poke my head in on that.Looking good so far and should be a breeze compared to those vacs I would think.Cheers Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Decided to dig the old Hurri out of storage and make a start so here's the cockpit assy, all it needs is some wires to represent some cables when it's fitted to the fuselage. Not going to bother painting the engine as the cowlings will be fitted so hopefully this will be a quickish build well for me anyway. Graham.

PhilB Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Glad to see you back with this one Graham. Its a really good kit and seeing the fantastic work you've done on the cockpit, I'm sure it will be a brilliant result! Looking forward to this one!

Azgaron Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I agree, me too! I'm loooking forward to seeing more progress pics. Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks guys, here is the cockpit fitted, cowlings on and fuselage glued together. There is a slight seam on the top of the cowling that needs attention and maybe one or two other bits but on the whole not a bad fit, the only downside is the detail up and around the top of the cowling is very faint and in some parts disappears so it will be out with the scriber and riveter later. Plus one half of the fuselage was nice and smooth while the other (left) was dull and a bit rougher and the plastic is on the soft side??

LSP_Ron Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Damn you! I've been eyeballing this kit for sometime now but haven't bit the bullet trying to avoid 24th scale. After seeing this I need to give this kit a go. Nice work so far Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
