Hawker Hurricane 1/12 scale scratch build

Help! I would like to build the doghouse as true to the original as possible. Unfortunately, I don't have a drawing of the 70° inclined front former 3. I also have no drawings of 3B upper and 3A lower. (red markings) Who can help ?? Cheers Thomas -

Hi Paulpk. The formers are plastic sheet. See page 1. Thomas -

Finally, I painted the whole thing with light brown Arcyl paint to imitate wood. Despite the filigree structure, the skeleton is surprisingly stable. Of course - it is a HURRICANE ! Until next time! Thomas -

For the wider stringers on both sides, I fixed 0.5mm wire at the top and bottom. -

With minor corrections, I managed to do it anyway. -

Here is a drawing of a typical former with the scale indicating the size. With this vague information, inaccuracies are unfortunately inevitable. -

I use 1x1 mm brass profile for the stringers. Hair clamps are used to fix them when gluing. I must also point out that the "original drawings" for the formers are not exactly dimensioned and the positions of the notches and cut-outs for the fuselage tubes are not always exact. That's why I had to make some adjustments so that the stringers run straight or curve nicely in smooth lines. ..until next time Thomas -

Unfortunately, the notches for the stringers are not always exactly right and I have to correct some of them with a needle file so that the stringers are in line. -

To get the correct silhouette on the back of the fuselage, I checked with a cardboard template. -

Next i want to finish the upper half of the fuselage. I prepared the fuselage formers a long time ago. To place the stringers I first had to build a jig to fix the formers in the correct position. I used balsa wood scraps for this. -

The aluminum sheet is still a little discolored from the thermal treatment. ..
