How was the kit to build? Our base is just hosting this very aircraft and I had to order the kit right away

This bird just arrived today to our base for the Adriatic Strike '25 exercise. It is indeed wraparound camouflage. Here's a few shots that might help. Also note that it has Italian flag colours on the right side top of the tail.

Thanks everyone!

Bought this kit out of curiosity, as I was wondering how a 3d printed kit looks like in this day and age. While I don't see it yet making a mass production, this kit proves that the technology has advanced immensely.

Beautiful Draken! Still remember admiring them over Zeltweg.

Top job, mate!

Thank you for your suggestions! Yeah vac would improve the looks for sure, but I've had bad experiences with it in the past so I've decided just to accept it as it is. As for the tip of the rudder or better yet tail fin - it actually was a rather large thing, at least as it is seen on the surviving Finnish Hurricane - I was actually quite surprised about it. And as it is, it is airfoil shaped which is more correct than a round string would be.

Thank you, guys! Much appreciated!

Thank you for the insightful information! Much appreciated! Thank you, Steve!

I was talking about a Finnish Mk.I. RYAF received early ragwing Hurricanes while Finns used metal wing ones.

thank you! thank you! thank you! Thank you! Interesting informations about the propellers. Were Mk.I props any different? I saw one in original colours at Tikkakoski museum in Finland and I am quite certain, the chips show bare metal underneath. They are also present at the front, but not as many (actually I am just finishing a Finnish one atm). Or was that fabric of some light colour (grey?) that could be mistaken for aluminium? Asking, as I am more of a jet guy and don't know details like that. But yeah, I might tone down the chipping a bit in the future.

Latest of my bench, part of a double Arma Hobby 1:72 Hurricane build. Aftermarket used Master cannon barrels and Lift Here decals.

Thanks to everyone! Thank you, Marcin, for your input. I admit I have almost zero knowledge on the P-47. I've now checked the few photos of the HV-U I have and indeed it was equipped with Hamilton prop. I might replace it sometime in the future with the Quickboost offering.

Hi everyone. Revell 1:72 kit with the addition of some aftermarket stuff - Quickboost engine, AK Interactive decals, Yahu instrument panel, CMK wheels and Master barrels and gunsight.
