A older Revell kit from a boot sale. This is a lesser known aircraft to me, but there were about 600 built. The 'three light layers' photo is after five days of building. Masking a priming is next.

"Palette Cleanser" - so far a 3 day - weekend build. Assembly and some weathering done. TODO- clear coat - decals - a little more weathering and flat coat.
The main issue was working on the little soldiers... Even with magnifying glasses head band I could not detail the faces..

A nice little break. Does not take too much space. I almost filled my last shelf (of 3)- then got to look elsewhere to store..

Thank you Guy, I have done a few Spitfires and 109s recently but this is my first Hurricane, a pleasure to work on this aircraft - I will be sure to do other ones!

I am still not sure how I will tackle the green camo squiggly lines of green, paint method wise...
6 February, 00:16

Nearly done. To do - flat clear coat, canopy and antenna wire.

Done... Normally I would take the aircraft outside and put it on a mirror, but there is SO MUCH SNOW - have to settle for a table in the basement...

Another boot sale build. I got new aftermarket decals, A few missing parts but no show stoppers. This release was from the 1970s.
17 January, 19:37

Almost finished. Not a bad little model. I needed to make my own exhausts and the air intake. Colour turned out ok.
25 January, 19:09

Finished. Too much SNOW outside to take a picture in the sunshine..

Chris - about the canopy - I had the same question for you. My kit had the Malcolm hood oob. It must be a different issue of the kit. The reference drawing for P51 B VFU is for May 1944. The pilot was shot down in May '44 and was a POW. - about the 'really quick': I have SLOWED down. This was a 3 week effort. I came back to the hobby after a 40+ year pause. Last year when I restarted I was doing a model a week! -I could not keep up that pace as I would run out of room for the finished models. Now I pause a few days, clean up my workspace and start again.

ALMOST complete. The optional rigging instructions showed 30 lines. I used 20 (did not double up in the front). A little more touch ups and add the engine and on to the next. The next model will be my first with PHOTO ETCH...

Generally happy with the results. *Need to work on rigging in general...
*I did have a bright yellow acrylic but it would not stick well on the primer. I ended up using the Tamiya yellow green and the coating was good - just not 'yellow yellow'.
*The ordering of the wrong decals was a bummer. Also - recap - the first time I had two models on the go. Today was a cold but sunny day. A good day to take the 'official' portraits outside.

OK, I see that the front machine gun on my model is on the upper side of the canopy blister, while the painting shows it...

Nearing completion. Added machine guns in the groove, grooves on cowling, and braces on fuselage in front of cockpit. Saw those details in a 1/48 scale kit of this aircraft.

Complete. Still getting used to EASYLine for antenna cable..

Not bad for a 50+ year old kit. Could not have done it without decal film. The decals were not yellowed but did look 'dry'... Kit complete and 'flying'.
