Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Tropical
Re: Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Tropical
That is spectacular work! Wow!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Lyle, it always looks better in the photos than face to face though

@Lyle: 
That quarterscale is obviously growing on you, Stuart. Great work on the Hurricane!

Progress on this one looks great Stuart. I like what you're doing with the pit and it's coming along nicely. I've never been a fan decals for seat belts but it beats not having any in there at all. Looking forward to more buddy.

Cockpit looks really good Stuart!
The new Airfix kit looks really good as well!

The cockpit looks great, especially the instrument panel!

Stuart,
Concerning your last update- GOOD SHOW! your cockpit’s looking great, and you did a great job on that instrument panel. You’re putting a lot of careful, hard work into this and it shows. Excellent work my man. This is a great build to follow.

Well that was fun…
I was working on assembling all the main components today, got the fuselage together okay, put the lower wings on and the various other bits, but was a bit disappointed by the fit – I then realised that I hadn’t fitted the upper wing halves before I’d fitted the wing to the fuselage. Managed to get them wedged in place, glued and clamped up but the fit was awful, so I had the bright idea of trying to remove the wing so I could redo from start… Well as you can imagine it didn’t go too well as not only did I get a split in the wing, I also managed to pull one half of the cockpit framing apart…
It was at this point I channelled my inner Calvin.
Alas the Clipper. which was also awaiting yet another re-paint, got the same treatment.
