Here is the camouflage scheme

 

 

 

great choice - that's one of the ones to be featured in the box

 

One thing to note, I have been corresponding with Andy Long who is literally 'Mr Defiant' - author of a new book coming by Pen & Sword and has had input from 95 families of Defiant aircrew - he told me 'the main box option of L7021 should have had underwing roundels as there was an Air Ministry Order to add them to aircraft in service from 11th August 1940 and from 18th August for those on the production line'

 

I will be adding them to the decals, but noticed they are not in the profile there

There’s absolutely no way to see any difference between this underside and an underside of an injection molded kit. Looks fantastic!

What a strange looking Hurricane  Great work Tolga, all those intricate details are coming alive.

Thanks a lot

I can't tell you how happy this makes me Tolga - I love your build and paint style and I really think it is bringing out the best in the kit

 

...speaking of which, it is happening...

 

 

100 tail sections which are the longest to print at 17 hours, nearly 100 noses, 30 mid-sections and 3 printers running 24/7 for the last 2 weeks. The first run will be 100 kits with more to follow if needed
