Hi all, Just to even up the odds against the swarm of 109's.. here's an early Mk.1 Hurricane. Still a low parts count series 1 from Airfix so not too challenging, I hope! An hour in we're here. Cockpit looks okay for this scale. It's the fabric wing version which means there's not a panel line to hide the upper to lower join so it's two flat surfaces all the way along. The lower is slightly longer than the upper so a bit of filling and sanding needed at the tips. Luckily the Hurrie had a comparatively thick wing for a monoplane fighter. More soon!

Looking good from here Steve. The cockpit has enough detail for this scale I think.

Ready for primer. Build was okay. No gunsight in the kit which is odd but there you go.

Looking good Steve, looks like a straightforward build, no?

Thank my friend, yes no issues at all with this kit. It's a very recent purchase and the plastic is much nicer than the spoapy soft stuff the '109 is moulded from.

That's a lovely looking underside. And darn sharp camonizing.
