JohnB Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I've decided this will be my next build. Appears to be a really nice kit and, I hope, everything will fit okay. The cockpit assembly went very well with good fit throughout although pretty "fiddly" at times. I plan to model a 43 Squadron bird instead of either of the schemes supplied in the kit. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 John Nice start on the Revell Hurricane and certainly like your choice of markings. Whose seatbelt/ harnesses did you use. as they look really good? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 Making nice progress. This is 2 days work . So far most everything fits okay. I'll attach the wings soon so my fingers are crossed they have a good fit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a easy build but the cockpit "tubing" etc IS a bit fiddly. Had me talking to myself at times...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Looking good, but then again I do like a Hurricane, a fine looking aircraft, the speed of the build (2 days) is astonishing to me, it takes me 2 days to open the box. Cheers Dennis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Thanks Dennis. Since there are very few "problems", and the ones that are are minor, it goes together well. I hadn't anticipated it would go so fast!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Day three and well along with it. The canopy is taped in place to protect the protruding gunsight. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 John Amazing progress and as always, your build looks flawless. I'm only guessing but at the incredible rate you've been building this year, you'll have set a world record for completions ... maybe 40 plus 🏆🏆🏆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 John I'll be looking forward to those builds and keeping count as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
