I built this kit a couple of years ago and never was very happy with the results. It's been sitting on the shelf gathering dust and getting broken so now I think I will re-do the markings, etc. I intend to do the Hurricane flown by Kuttlewascher of Number 1 Squadron in 1942 on night intruder ops. Not much work involved other than removing the chin scoop, adding the short scoop, making some repairs and doing the repaint, etc. I have the decals so that won't be a problem.

I decided to finish this one in a nice clean finish with minimal weathering. I might go back later and overspray with clear semi-flat and do a bit of weathering but for now I like it like it is. Eye catching (at least for me it is). After market are the resin wheels, seat belts and the decals. Painted with MM Dark Sea Blue (my favorite color!). This a/c was assigned to HQSS-22 on Ie Shima in 1945. Probably saw a lot of action during the Okinawa campaign. I hope you like the model. Be sure to click on the pics for the best resolution.

This post was intended to show my other hobby of collecting militaria. To try to accomplish that I will delete what I had on HERE and start another thread later on.

Thanks Gaz. I just started adding decals.

Agreed Denis. I was a bit concerned if mine would fit or not and it was a nice relief to find it fit okay.

Thank you Peter! Yep, 99.5% of my paint stash is enamels. This is Model Master Glossy Sea Blue (my favorite color! LOL).
