Those newer Airfix 1/72 kits are certainly very good.

Yes they are Jim I’m getting addicted to them.

Fantastic start Tony.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great work Tony. The detail on those printed figures is quite remarkable given the scale.

Got the wing top and bottom glued and the cockpit together. The seat has had the Eduard super fabric seat belts added . The nav lights on the wing were just moulded solid so they were cut out and pieces of clear sprue glued in after a hole was drilled and painted to simulate the bulbs .

Very impressive Tony, well done on the lights, that's great scratchery.

[The Smythe Meister]

Great work on such tiny stuff Tony .

[A_J_Rimmer]

WOW! Those lights look excellent!

Got the fuselage together and wings on now, its starting to look like a hurricane . Strangely Airfix dont supply a gunsight of any kind , so an early reflector gunsight ( round lens ) will have to be scratched and fitted before I get the windscreen on . Ive also been squinting through the magnifying lamp and got the figures started . Theyve had a basic first coat of colour , lots more tiny details to paint and shading washes etc to come .

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Good work on the lights Tony. The general fit looks half decent as well.

[A_J_Rimmer]

Lovely work - those pilots look excellent!

[papa 695]

Coming along very nicely indeed Tony.

[Lee Drennen]

Great updates Tony the figures look nice and tidy.

The figures are now done after a bit more detail painting , washing and drybrushing .
I scratched a gunsight and attached it then masked up the windscreen and fitted that. After masking the cockpit opening the airframe got a coat of Halfords grey primer. Next up some colour .

Wow, that was an enjoyable catch up. Some cracking work going on, love the figures, they will really add something to the finished product.
