mozart Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Even closer than you think Andy! Just a few u/c bits: and then: Nearly ready to start! The hand hold door flap was made from thin brass, an “L” shaped piece glued using epoxy inside the fuselage: I’m re-masking and painting the hood because I’m not 100% happy with it, that’s today’s task plus wheel covers. More later hopefully. geedubelyer, denders, hurribomber and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Great to see it on its wheels! Satisfying milestone attained! Tire pressure seems a bit high, beware of a blowout! Those stencils are absolutely the most convincing as they are, after all, applied just like the real ones! Now imagine these on any bare metal finish: no silvering or even visible decal film to be wary of! Alain Out2gtcha and mozart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Alain’s comment about tyre pressure is right, but I’m also concerned about the tail wheel, too tall I think so the “sit” of the plane is wrong. I’ve changed it once but think I may have to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hi Max, I had to shorten the tail wheel on mine, I very roughly did this against a scale drawing. Cheers Dennis mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Ah, that’s interesting Dennis….design fault then it seems. I’ve reduced mine once and pinned it, but I think tomorrow could be another one of butchery! Later…..the knives were out tonight! Re-done…again! Think it’s ok. Edited January 25 by mozart Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also added the hand grip to the outside of the hood: The unpainted one where I’m still drilling holes comes from the new mould Revell kit, but after finishing it all I found that it is a bit too narrow for the PCM kit, so I had to revert to the PCM hood. At least I’ve saved myself a job for the Revell Hurricane. I experimented with adding the internal grips too but it didn’t really work very well, bit too much of an ask in this scale.

DugyB Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Heaps good effort going on here, your build makes me want to build a Hurricane, I sure hope Revell comes out with a Canon B version soon….! mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there’s a thought Dugy! I haven’t researched the changes for a cannon-armed Hurricane but there can’t be too many. Mainly wing I guess? I’ll be starting my Hurribomber very soon.

mozart Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Dugy and I both celebrating milestones with our builds today, undercarriages complete! From this angle I can see I have to do something about that gunport patch! Ouch! DugyB, LSP_Kevin, denders and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
