Show and tell time for sure. LOL This is my Bendix USAAF D-12. It's been sitting on a shelf for a while and I see it needs some cleaning up. Soon!
-
Excellent! In great condition too.

Revell Hurricane IIB done
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thanks! Sounds like a plan Winnie. I look forward to seeing it! -
As far as I can tell Jeff it does. Looks beat up but it still works.

Just got a "new" addition to my collection of RAF WW II a/c compasses. A well worn Type P6 that still has the liquid in it which is a bit unusual as they usually don't still have the liquid. I just happened to see it on ebay with a great price (less than $50 and free shipping). Here it is with a couple of my other compasses (I have several more!). I though some of you might enjoy seeing this just for grins.

Thanks Peter. It's about time Revell got their "stuff" together. It was very nice to have no cuss factors on this one! LOL -

I had doubts this build would ever get this far but it has and I'm pleased with it. Now that the undersides are painted I'll start on the uppers. -

Thank you Dennis. It's possible it is the best 1/32 Hurricane yet. Good fit and a easy build. -

Thanks Scott. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit, etc since the '51's are such a PITA. Someone must have gotten their act together! -

Thanks Carl. The Fly kit I built was a real SOB. I said then and there no more Fly kits. LOL -
Revell Hurricane IIB next up...

All done. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19604-revell-hurricane-iib-done/ -
RFI guys. For once a 1/32 Revell kit had good fit! I'm very pleased as the P-51's have a lot of fit problems and I was anticipating some with this build but, I'm pleased to say, there were hardly any problems. I used Xtradecals and Xtracolor paint on this build with a over spray of Alclad clear flat. I hope you like it.

I look forward to seeing it.
-
It's a very nice kit Carl and I'm sure you will enjoy the build. I built mine using the folded wings.
-
Looking good! I know it will be a beauty when done.

LOL Kevin. I know what you mean. I've run out of room and am boxing models up and storing them in a closet. Better than letting them sit out and gather dust. 🙄 -

Agreed Kevin. -

Take a peek at these photos and compare. The difference doesn't jump out at you but if you look close you can see there is a little difference. Not a LOT but enough. At least enough that I can see it. Maybe the "L" will look okay after painting the camo and attaching the prop/spinner and exhausts. We will see! 🙃 -

Thanks Peter. I don't think the Trumpeter nose section looks quite "right". A bit too "bulbous" but there's nothing I can do about that. It should be a little "flatter" on the sides. I'll post a couple of shots of it sitting next to one of my "F" builds using the Grey Matter nose and we'll see how they compare.
