Wackyracer 1,121 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 8 MikeMaben, MARU5137, tucohoward and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scale32 327 Posted January 16, 2017 Hey Aaron, good topic and candidate for some punishing weathering treatment. I can feel some Haggo techniques coming on! Cheers Bevan 2 MARU5137 and mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cees Broere 1,564 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. 1 mpk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W 3,902 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. Joel 2 mpk and MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wackyracer 1,121 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. 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The instructions however show them with details. Go figure that? 1 Cees Broere reacted to this Share this post 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! 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cees Broere 1,564 Posted January 17, 2017 Indeed, watch the undercarriage too as the answer how to fit these lies further ahead in the instructions too. 1 Wackyracer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
