  1. Thanks! Sounds like a plan Winnie. I look forward to seeing it!
  2. As far as I can tell Jeff it does. Looks beat up but it still works.
  3. 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.
  4. I appreciate the vote of confidence Peter, thank you.
  5. Thanks Peter. It's about time Revell got their "stuff" together. It was very nice to have no cuss factors on this one! LOL
  6. 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.
  7. Time to get started with painting. Azure blue undersides.
  8. Thank you Dennis. It's possible it is the best 1/32 Hurricane yet. Good fit and a easy build.
  9. 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!
  10. Thanks Carl. The Fly kit I built was a real SOB. I said then and there no more Fly kits. LOL
  11. All done. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19604-revell-hurricane-iib-done/
  12. 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.
  13. It's a very nice kit Carl and I'm sure you will enjoy the build. I built mine using the folded wings.
  14. Looking good! I know it will be a beauty when done.
  15. 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. 🙄
  16. Thank you Peter. I plan to start decaling this morning.
  17. Xtracolor applied and ready for some decals.
  18. 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! 🙃
  19. 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.
  20. Some good progress on this one today. Lots of filling and sanding. Better than I thought it might look even though there are several areas that need a bit more attention.
  21. I don't think that's a good bet since I intend to slow down and build some models that take more time such as a HK 1/48 B-17G, etc. I'm just turning out way too many builds but, like I always say, I want to stay busy. We'll see........
  22. LOL Peter. A good many for sure but not 40 plus. 19 at last count. I need to slow down as I've run out of room! I've started boxing some of them up and storing them in a closet to keep from setting them out to get dusty, etc.
