I enjoyed the building theAirfix Hurricane, so I’ve decided to build this one now.

Glutton for punishment aren't we mind you all the last ones I have done have come out well.
If you want them I have a set of 1/24 seat belts going spare.

I'm watching - had this one in the stash for a couple of years.

Thanks for the offer Peter, but I’m going to install the pilot again.

Made a start on this one. I know I need to paint the yolk, I forgot to add it before painting.

Every thing painted and put together awaiting some weathering, also got the pilot put together. I need to get him painted and put on the seat before I can close it all up.

Great start Ian. Pilot next?

Hi Ian
Nice start with the usual cockpit. We don't see many of these large scale planes built. Good to see a pilot being used.

Yes Tim I had a trial fit, and you can’t put the pilot in when the fuse halves are together.

Cheers Jim, I used the pilot on the Hurricane build, and it looked ok. So I’m doing the same for this one.
