The kit has the vents, which you can see above the black panel on the wing root in the photo below, whereas the aircraft you're depicting doesn't, so they really require removing. @Kagemusha Aha!! Thanks for that info, I see what you're meaning! Off they will go then! Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainM Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Does anyone have an idea/pic of where the IFF antenna exited the fuselage on the Hurricane? And where the lead-ins were situated on the horizontal stab leading edge? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainM Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 Made some progress..... Got the first primer coat down, some touch-ups to do, but generally happy with the result. Not as much as I thought I'd have to do. Have to rescribe some detail now and restore some rivet detail where the joins are, but at least things are getting along. @Kagemusha you'll be happy to see those vents below the cockpit are gone! She's not a small bird at all......quite a bit larger than the 109 I'm building. I was quite surprised! Quite a decent set of resin tyres supplied with the kit! I think instead of my usual black-basing, I'll start by using this primer as the base and build up effects on it. That should give some nice tonal/distressing/fading effects when I put on the black scheme Jeff T, TAG, Fanes and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Looking mighty fine Iain, good to see the vents gone, they were the first thing I saw, and something I had no control over. IainM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 The primer step is always a great one to see how it' all coming together. It looks really good, can't wait for paint. Matt IainM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Nice Iain. The wheels from the Fly kit are off quite a bit in diameter of both the wheel and the tyre. Barracuda has a nice set that includes the up locks. I know because I've re-started my PCM kit that was shelved for the 109D. Those little up lock parts are quite fiddely as one might imagine but I managed to get them installed. http://barracudacals.com/proddetail.php?prod=BR32426 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235003618-hurricane-wheel-size-in-132/ Not a great big deal , just a suggestion.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Much appreciated! I think I will indeed source myself a set of Roy's wheels for the kit!

IainM Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Before the last really couple of weeks of cold, rainy, high humidity days hit NZ I managed to do some panel line pre-shading on the Hurri, followed by a thin layer of silver (for chipping later). This is how she stands at the moment - I'm going to hold off a bit on any further painting until I have a day of not having to sponge the condensation off the window in the garage!
