Erwin Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Hi all, I shall join with the newly re-released Hurricane. It has two decal options .I shall decide later. Both have the same paint scheme. But there's a problem. The kit I bought today contains the clear parts for the 24 th Spitfire kit ! Let's hope Airfix sends me the correct ones.

Loic Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the party Erwin! That’s very unlucky for the clear part , I hope they will be able to help. Looking forward for you to start but knowing the speed of yours when it comes to modeling, you will probably complete your build before I start painting my P-40 Edited September 22, 2023 by Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I won't start untill I have clear parts. I also bought the 24 th Me 109 E. That does have the correct clear parts. I might change my entry in the GB if no Hurricane parts are found. The shop where I bought them also has the Spitfire.Maybe that one contains Hurricane clear parts !!

Loic Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Did you get a Typhoon clear sprue with the Spitfire kit? Edited September 23, 2023 by Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Now that the clear parts are sorted.I can start the build. Loic, BradG and Alain Gadbois 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) First step. Cleaning the big parts. My six years old grandson asked if it can fly. That made me come up with the idea to maybe put it on a stand with spinning prop.

Loic Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 You can also give the plane to your grandson and he will make it fly ... It worked with my daughters too many times... Joke aside, it is nice that you sorted out the canopy issue and that you started this build. Erwin and gunpowder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think of it, the Bf 109 E had the option of an engine, so I guess the Hurricane also has that. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
