Great build so far and great work on the camo looks superb bud

the camo truly does look nice, and will be looking forward to seeing the markings go on

I've finally given this aircraft an identity, decals on. The decals are very thin with minimal carrier film which whilst making them fragile and not the easiest to work, also makes them conform very well with just a couple of applications of Microsol.


There's a bit of weathering, this aircraft was late production, from the 10th Hawker production block, delivered to the RAF between September 1943 and May 1944. I'm portraying it as operated by No. 309 (Polish) Squadron who acquired these Hurricanes, much to their dismay, in April 1944.





I might even get this finished for the weekend

Should have said that the decals remind me of those from Techmod. In the kit the sheet is just marked Fly Models so maybe they do them themselves.

Nice work Steve - up to your usual high standards.

nice job steve, good to see the decals going on. However, how are the Fly decals' quality? I have their 1/32 Ar 234B-2 and I would like to know if they are good or dodgy.

Hi John. The decals in this kit are very good. The carrier film is very thin (and minimal) which does make the larger decals in particular fragile and the smaller ones tend to want to roll up. I only lost one of the W/T markings, so with careful handling they are fine. They do go down and conform very nicely, I had no silvering at all.


I mentioned that they reminded me of the typical Techmod decals, which are also usually on a thin film and a bit on the fragile side.
