This Hurricane looks great Alan. The cockpit is very nice indeed, great detail and nicely painted.

Looking great. Humbrol 90 and 78, two of my favourite colours, and you get to use lots of the stuff here (or there equivalent of course)

Cheers guys and gal I rather like the colours of this cockpit , I did have to use my noggin on some colours due to the instructions only giving two colours for it , today it's weathering the exterior , just some basic wear and tear

Yeah I think it looks better off , it's a shame they don't do 1/24 RAF ground crew it would mate a nice dio

Cheers peter , I've given it a black wash and now I don't know if I should leave it , highlight it or give it a wash of rust so it looks like the exhausts [ATTACH]85430.IPB[/ATTACH]

Looks fine! If is acrylic and isn't dry yet, take a sponge and "sand", you will have s nice final effect
