Im not an expert but @Troy Smith is as close to a Hurricane expert if I've ever seen one. However I've always painted that area black as its high up. Sometines i add a leather colored edge to simulate padding. But I've no proof thats correct just seems logical.

Im also getting the PB Ransom page. I cant upload the plugins on a cellular. If you can reload them or give a link to another page ?

Thats exactly why i went for this scheme. It was unique looking.

Takes the idea of a “ Zwilling “ to the next level. Dennis

Nice looking Cat ... Sorry it wasn't meant to be negative towards you. I hope you didn't recieve it as such ? Just making a point that some dont care. Dennis

Hello @Blackat ... Yes i agree that the Academy isnt 100% accurate. But some modelers, myself included don't really care either. Im of the mindset that if it quacks like 🦆. And walks like a 🦆. Then its a 🦆. So with either the price/diffulculty (i hate over fiddly and over engineered kits) of Hasegawa's. That or the cost of the new Tamiya Tomcats. I’ll live with it not being 100% accurate. Im not building so many that the size differences are noticeable in a lineup. It falls down to an equation. Cost vs. accuracy. How much will i spend vs how accurate does it need to be. Dennis

Beautiful “Rogers” Phantom

Ouch ... but the fixes you have look good so far.

Ive done a couple commision builds for relatives of WW2 veterans. I explain up front the costs involved and that they need to provide all but my labor. I built a C-46 many years ago on commision. The “customer” never showed up to pick it up. I got stuck with all the cost up-front. So now its pay before build or supply everything before build. Dennis
