Has anyone here built this kit before? Any Trouble? Fit Problems? etc......

I'll be posting some pics tommorow after I'm done working on it for the day so probobly sometime around this time tommorow.

Hi David,

I think this will be helpful to you
Hurricane IIc

Cool, thanks for the link. Now, as that was a sort of how-to build. Mine is more just going to be getting input suggestions and feedback to improve the model.

David

You'll get plenty of help and advice from people at aeroscale.
Looking forward to seeing your hurricane take shape. I think I might do a Hurricane I've got soon.
Good luck

Ok, so I've put in the pedals and stick in the cockpit. Does anyone know what color the cockpit is supposed to be? It looks almost like a lighter olive green to me. Also, what were the seats made out of? This one looks like wood.

The cockpit interior is RAF interior green. Humbrol 78 is a good match, although I prefer Xtracrylics, since I use acrylics nowadays. Many paint manufacturers make it too.

The seat is made of bakelite, a type of early plastic; that's an unpainted one in the pic. Some were painted along with the cockpit interior.

Hi again,

I've recently come across Vallejo Green Sky (Model Color 70974) as a pretty good match for the RAF's green interior colour.

Hope this helps,
Mike.

Thanks for the link. I'll try to post some pics today.

Ok, heres the cockpit with the first coat of paint on. I'm going to put another one on tommorow. I know I have to touch up some areas.



Thanks for looking,
David

Hi,

Looking good so far, l'm looking forward to seeing it take shape.
I've also started a Hurricane Mk. IIc
I wonder who'll finish first ...
All the best,

Mike

Okay, wow, sorry for the long delay.... I haven't had internet for awhile and have been relocating.
Anyway, I've almost finished it. All the fusealage is assembled and I'm down to airbrushing and smaller things..

Nice progress shots David, keep 'em coming

Thanks, hopefully I'll get some paint on her tommorow!
David

Wow, been awhile since I posted here. Well its still sitting waiting for paint. Got caught up in the start of school and have been doing that since. Hopefully I will get around to working on it within the next few weeks.
