Joel,
It looks very good from here.
From what I read (and I mean read without too much depht) from your build thread, you were not very satisfied with the shades the paint gave (am I right?), but it sure looks spot on, especially the underside Sky.
But what catches my eyes are details, and your Hurricane has plenty of good details throughout. Good model as usual Joel

Cheers,
Pedro

Hi Joel, a nice build.
I would have to agree the wires detract from the final build a bit. Probably thinner and tighter, and the wire parallel to the antenna should be closer to the base. I, after battling with fine fishing line which, after it's tightened, keeps exerting pressure on the connection points, have moved on to E Z line which I was able to source from wingnut wings. It works very well and remains taut without too much force at the ends.
The Airfix Hurricane is a very nice kit that I'd definitely do again at some point. Thanks for sharing.

regards.

Beautiful job on the Hurrie Joel . The wire looks fine on this end .

She's a beauty, Joel! Really turned out fine now. Well done! And I second Terri's words about the wire.

Very nice work on the Hurricane Joel, it looks ready to defend the skies over SE England. I read your comments on photography with interest, lots of good information there! I use "Daylight" bulbs in my photo setup, and have found that takes care of almost all white balance issues. I have started to get serious with actual 1:1 macro shooting and I am finding out that DoF can be a challenge at times! Again, great work on your build as always my friend!

Hi Joel.
I like it a lot. The Hawker hurricane has always been a favourite of mine and yours looks every bit the fighting machine.

Cheers

Hello Joel.You have presented a fantastic construction of Hurricane as always.It is my pleasure to see those beautiful constructions that you have made, and in my opinion thats the most important,giving inspiration to other people!Thanks for sharing them with us.Christos.

Joel! A beautiful Hurricane and with less than two months from start to finish this has to qualify as a quick build, doesn't it?

I'm not as fond of the antenna as the rest of the gang here ( ), I would give it a thin wash of dark grey to tone it down a bit and give it more of a metallic look. Apart from that: a fine looking Hurricane that makes me feel the urge to take up my 144-scale ones!

Joel -

Have you tried fine nylon ( I think it's nylon- definitely synthetic) fly tying thread ?

I used it on the Hayabusa and now I won't use anything else . Diameter is just right,
Strong and easy to use . There must be a Fly Shop near you . You can glue it with white glue and tension it if necessary by lighting a PAPER match - BLOWING IT OUT- then pass it under the antenna .
If you want to try it and cannot find any I'll mail you a piece .
