Erwin Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) 12 hours ago, Alain Gadbois said: Fun idea! I’d like to see the installation of the motor and electrical system. 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 The Hurricane is a rather heavy model. And the stand goes into the radiator.That might be a weak point. Maybe I shall do the Spitfire with spinning prop instead of the Hurricane. The stand on the Spitfire goes into the wing.A much stronger point. Or perhaps the Me 109 . Edited September 25, 2023 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) I often thought that the 4-gun ports made in kits as seperata parts was incorrect. Looks like they were seperate pannels. Edited September 27, 2023 by Erwin Martinnfb, Gazzas, coogrfan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 A lovely picture that , looks like fitting a new tail , some heavy maintenance and repairs there. The Blenheims in the background tell a tale too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loic Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 What?! It is not finished yet? Knowing you I would have expected the build to be complete by now... That is still some fine work you are doing Erwin, good job Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 This kit is clearly designed to be build with open pannels. It took a lot of tape to get them fixed. Gazzas, R Palimaka, BradG and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Dryfitted wing with closed gun pannels. Not much work. Just the LG-bay and upper wings.

Gazzas Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I remember my short-lived foray into Airfix's 1/24 scale planes when I was a kit... they were big. Keep up the good work! Erwin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
