Speedman Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Build 16 Having already built one of these, (in fictional night fighter colours) I've decided to build another as Stanford Tuck's V6555. The fuselage markings and underwing roundels are from Sweet's Battle of Britain Hurricane set, the upper roundels are by Mark 1 Decals (I have a few sets from them) and the rest are from the spares box. This will be a quick build and I'll be doing updates as I go... Price: £2.99 from Antics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Main construction done and some gaps filled. OK, I know it's only four parts, but I did say it would be a fast build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
