Thanks guys, I’m really enjoying this build. For an old kit just like the Hurricane it’s going together very nicely.

Hi Ian, Wow brings back memories indeed , I built the 24th scale spitfire, in my late teens why I had to build the Mk 0ne 1/18th scale spitfire build for why they went that scale for I don' know. Will finish the cockpit screwing it to the cradle, expensive build will did out a pic of my holding the finished spitfire, Tony

Well I’ve got this one completed, I’ll post a completed thread when the weather picks up and I can get some photos done outside.

That is very good Ian - almost tempts me to start the one I have in the stash, but it's BIG! Too big for me to work on and certainly too big to display. Some people have said unkind things about this kit, but you've certainly proved it can be built into an impressive model.
