    This is top quality news!

    How exciting! Rather typical though - I am half way converting the Hart kit to an Audax. The Hart was sold through Hannants but I only ever saw the Demon on eBay. As such it always seemed tricky to get hold of, as you pay import postage prices to get the kit from Ukraine. Nonetheless it's an incredibly fine kit, on par with Eduard, so you get your money's worth.

    I am really enjoying the masterful work on show here. I plan to tackle this build one day!

    Interesting kit! Will enjoy seeing this built

    Excellent work!

    DBMK are a new company with high quality principles, and they are setting out to create large very detailed kits. The design and print work has been delayed by the war in Ukraine as I understand, but I have every faith the kits will start to arrive if we are patient

    That's how this kit should look! Amazing

    And a floatplane had appeared! Does anybody know where this is likely to be sold one it's released?

    This is effectively a totally new airframe when compared to the Airfix kit. I suspect many of us, myself included, will get both.

    I have really enjoyed reviewing the build so far! I would be tempted to do something similar myself. I certainly sympathise with the enforced hobby breaks - sometimes life just keeps you from the bench!

    I've researched these hurricanes for a commission customer and built a few. They're a ragtag bunch! You won't find any pattern to the mark or features installed. I do think they tend to have yellow wings but the various squadron codes make it hard to guess what an airframe looked like without a photo. Perhaps no guns as I can't see canvas patches but I bet this varied. Spinner is not consistent. Below you even see a Mk. X. These were the two airframes I modelled having found the best photos.

    I love this.

    I am interested in what the weapons bay carried on a COD4. Gannet Warpaint page 23 states: "The weapons bay was adapted to take panniers for stores or even a long-range fuel tank". I wonder if anybody knows what these fitments looked like? I cannot find any detail. Clearly it would be nice to include these in an open bay. One would expect the bay to be filled before external pods got added.

    I am excited about the prospect of a Wilga. Not sure what specific features make the kit look 'average' myself but given the lack of coverage to date I would take any new kit

    Beautiful weathering - I will refer back to this
  16. mahavelona
    This looks great

    Truly a beautiful build and presentation. Lots of inspiration for me here.

    So there are now multiple Wilga kits forthcoming to the market. This will be interesting and very welcome!

    Very exciting. I would love a floatplane.

    Stunning work. I am really impressed by the aileron rigging, what is the use of the clear tube?
  21. mahavelona
    This is a stunning build. I really appreciate the detail photos.
  22. mahavelona
    Lovely work. What rigging method did you use?
  23. mahavelona
    The inclusion of folded wings has got my interest up. The fulmar looks interesting folded and thats how we see it in the FAA museum... I am curious to know what a rivet counting inspection of the shape would reveal.

    Wonderful work and great to see the machine in RAF colours.
  25. mahavelona
    Stunning
