Hi all,

The boxart shows a Mk IIc with the cannons,but I will build it as a Mk I.

First progress...

Nice tidy bit of balsa bashing so far Erwin

Amazing Erwin. I actually found some of these Guillow's kits in a hobby shop the other week
Good start.

Covered it all with 1,5 mm balsasheet. The rim and tips will be sanded round after the glue has set.

The wing is finished...

You're a fast worker Erwin

The nickname wooden wonder normally applies to the Mosquito.On this site the name applies to one of Erwin's balsa models.Looking good so far.

Nice work so far Erwin!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Started on the fuselage...

Do you stop to sleep Erwin? Nice work sir.

Did this at work yesterday during my guardduty.

Joined the fuselage and wing.And added the VAC nose...



Dylan(theRabbit)is kindly sending me the decals from the Airfix 24 th Hurricane to finish it in the 85 Sqn plane flown by Sqn Ldr Peter Townsend.

Looks good, sir!

Made the tailsection from 3 mm plasticsheet...



Come closer...

Looking lovely mate!



Cheers
Tim

Progressing nicely Erwin!

Azgaron

Ready for painting.

I first coated it with grey to see where I needed to do some more filling. Sanded it all smooth again.

Before you all jump into your pens. I know the exhausts are not correct. But they were the only once I had that come close to 1/28 th scale.

Erwin my friend,

Firstly, youre doing a brilliant job on this wooden wonder Ive not seen anything like it before

Secondly, its your model, and if those stubs are all youve got to hand then stuff the Rivet Counters, just ignore them

Bex

Thank's Bex.

Those " stubs" are from the 1/32 nd Revell Typhoon kit. I will also use the LG and doors from that kit.

Great work there Erwin.

I've got a confession to make. I still haven't posted the decals yet. Our little one's been keeping us awake at night for the last week, so I'm like a zombie at the moment and am forgetting tons of things.

I'll get them in the post tomorrow. Promise.

Nick

First coat...

Topside done.Brushpainted.

Erwin: That's looking like a proper Hurricane..! Nice paint application...!

Erwin: I can go for that....when do we vote..??

Cheers,

Nice Erwin, I'm asinated by these wood kits.

Very nice paint job Erwin! Looks very nice and even!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Now thats what I like to hear Erwin
Looking absolutely amazing

Bex

Never seen these balsa kits before... looking very good so far, they must be feather light.

Waiting for the codeletters to arrive and a bit more work on the LG and drawing some lines.

Looks good! Where do you get these nice balsa models? Would be an interesting thing to try these. Are they also suited to be done flyable?

Thanks.

Some I buy over the internet.But I simply order than at my LHS and get them in about 2 weeks.

These kits are for flying models. Either by small electric or gasmotor or by rubberband.

But then you must cover it all by tissiue and not wood like I do.

But beware of a bad landing.They are very fragile.

Erwin: You Sir, are the King of balsa..!

"Erwin: I can go for that....when do we vote..??" Voted for D-Day, today..! ( Dakota dreaming..will certainly be something special)

Cheers,
ggc

FINISHED.

Looks bloomin gorgeous Erwin

Bex

Cheers,
ggc

Looks great mate!

Tim

Looking great Erwin! Very nice work!

Cheers,

Azgaron

Wow,that is amazing.

Nice one Erwin, I wouldn't believe it was made from Balsa

Nice Hurricane Erwin!

Thank you all for the very nice comments.

Building wooden builds isn't realy that difficult...once you know how to.

Anyway,no more wooden builds for some time now.Waiting for the result of the poll to see wich one will be on the buildtable.

The C-47 is almost a certainty for my D-Day memorial next year.



These are my wooden kits in the stach...
