LSP_Kevin Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Super work, Iain! Reminds me of some aborted Hurricane projects of my own. Kev Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 After drilling out all the cowl fasteners, and replacing some missing ones, the windshield frame was sprayed interior Grey-Green from outside and allowed to dry, before a couple of thin coats of Halfords grey primer (rattle can made for the automotive market). Always a nerve wracking moment when you're not sure what it will show up that needs fixing, especially on a fairly crude set of mouldings and a fair amount of modification. Happy with outcome so far - a few tweaks and we can paint her up... Have fun! Iain Trak-Tor, dennismcc, scvrobeson and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 In further adventures of 'How Slowly Can Iain Build A Model': most of the airframe looks surprisingly good under the primer - but I wasn't happy with the already thinned trailing edges of the wing - so it's out with files, sanding sticks and wet and dry paper to rectify/improve: Blue Skies!

fastterry Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 One thing that makes models look like models is thick trailing edges. It's definitely worth the extra effort to make them as thin as possible and that goes for prop blades as well (the thinning I mean). TRF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Very nice progress Iain, not an easy build but very rewarding and one of my favourite kits I've built. I have the rag wing to build as well at some point. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Finally got some real paint on the Hurricane - the underside Sky. Has had a night on top of the boiler in the airing cupboard - so should be ready for some masking and Dark Earth later today... Tally Ho!
