Thanks Wim and Stephen... The interior of this kit is the besti have had out of the box... It's worth the little bit extra effort, hats off to Airfix new tool...

Watching this one. Have the same kit and I am impressed by the box art and the kit itself. Airfix did a great job here!

Got some more work done, first time using Montex masks for markings... I hope to have it done for the South Australia Model Expo in mid October...

Looks great! Btw: Montex Masks work better on a glossy surface. Looks as if you had some luck! Love the hand grip on the stick!

That's good to know Thomas, I have a few more Montex masks in the stash... Will try the gloss for sure next time.

Just a rear view mirror to add and it will be done...

Class build, what was the Airfix fit like? They can be problematic sometimes I hear - never built an Airfix WWII bird before.

Wim van der Luijt
Your Hurricane turned out realy good!

10 October 2016, 06:27

Mark Medwell
Thanks Nazidk and Wim, the fit of the kit is great, however the wing to fuselage could be better. There can be a bit of a step on the underside of the fuselage that could be fixed by sanding the join to allow the wing to sit higher.

Clifford Keesler
Very nice looking Hurricane.
