Wackyracer 2,301 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This is my first build over here. I'm building a Fly 1/32 Hurricane MkIIb in Russia during the winter. Here's my reference pic. I have the Miniart refueller kit in 1/35 to add a bit more to the dio and as per the photo. I started with the cockpit framework and encountered a fair bit of seamlines that took quite some effort to clean up. Took about an hour to get to the first stage. PE was added Then the resin seat And a few more bits of PE and we're ready for some paint MikeMaben, DougN, Ryan and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Cees Broere 1,758 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looking forward to see your build evolve. I am working on the Mk I at the moment and it has a lot of flash to clean up. Some parts look like featureless blobs of plastic. I hope your kit is better. mpk 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W 3,903 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Aaron, Great start to a shall we say a rather challenging kit. You did an excellent job on the cockpit tub especially since there are almost no alignment aids. I'll be following along with great interest as you work your way through this build.

clarkis 64 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Great start! Is the PE and resin included in the kit? Clark Cone Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Peterpools Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Aaron Very nice start on the Hurricane. Looking forward to following you r progress. Peter Link to post Share on other sites
Wackyracer 2,301 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Great start! Is the PE and resin included in the kit? Clark Cone Yes it is. I've added a set of HGW fabric belts as I much prefer these to PE ones. MARU5137 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The instructions however show them with details. Go figure that? Cees Broere 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Joel I viewed the instructions further ahead then backtracked to get the bits to align. As soon as you start #1 has you put the control into position on the frame however you need to turn the page to see a connecting bar locates with a hinge and the control. I put the hinge, then the bar then the control and we had alignment. Its a challenge for sure especially since my previous build was Tamiya! MARU5137 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Cees Broere 1,758 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Indeed, watch the undercarriage too as the answer how to fit these lies further ahead in the instructions too. Wackyracer 1 Link to post Share on other sites
