Back to working on this one. Well along now.

Yep, looks real good!

Agreed Ernie. I hope someone will pick up the slack and start a new line of similar stuff.

We'll just have to muddle through like we always have Peter. 🤪 I asked SB about the Hurricane and was told they had no idea as to when it would show up. No matter, I'll be ready for one when that develops.

I didn't know they were Russian PW. That's good to know these days. 🙄

I'm pleased that you like it Peter. I'm happy with the way it turned out too.

Sounds like a workable project Mike.

Really looking good Mike. I wish there was a 1/32 F2A-3 kit available as I'd like to build one of those to go with the 1/48 Tamiya one I modified YEARS ago. I suppose if I REALLY wanted a -3 bad enough I could modify this kit. Not too difficult I suppose as all that's needed is to lengthen the fuselage in front of the wind screen. Something to think about! LOL 🙄

Thank you Fran!

Thanks for the info Ernie. I'm glad to see it'll be a good looking Hurricane model especially with some after market goodies. Later: I'm surprised to find that Quinta doesn't have a 1/32 Hurricane set! No big deal. I'll just use the kit stuff whenever it shows up. I thought King's had them in stock when I ordered but it turns out they don't. They put it in preorder and expect to have it in a week or so. Since I was not aware of that I decided to cancel my order and just wait for SB to get them. 😕

Thanks Mike. I'm pleased that you like it.

Thank you Rockie!

Thanks Ryan, I'm glad you like it.

Thank you Kevin.

Finished with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19174-icm-b-26k-completed/

I'm calling this one done. These ICM kits are nice and fit together very well. Their decals are very thin and VERY touchy. They have to be as close to in place as possible when applying them as there's almost NO moving them around after they are laid down.🙄 I painted the model with Xtracolor and Testor's MM. I hope y'all like it.

Thank you Phil. Any input on the kit at all?

I just ordered one from King's Hobby in Austin, TX and I'm wondering if any of you have seen the model and just what your opinion(s) might be. Thanks!!! JohnB

LOL Carl. Thank you. Coming right along!

Thanks Peter. That camo sure was a tedious thing to do! Now I'll have to let it sit over night for the paint to dry as Xtracolor takes a while.

Most of the painting is done! Still have some touch up to do. I decided to use Xtracolor on this one. As the paint was still very tacky I decided to leave the model on the painting base for this photo.

Thank you Peter. No problem about the nose weights.

Painting under way. Topside camo comes next.

Thank you Maru. It's on hold for now until I finish the B-26K but I'll get back to it in a bit.

Finally sitting on it's gear! Attaching the wing pylons is next.
