Cheers Troy, I was looking at it briefly yesterday and thought it perfect for finding the history of the Hurricanes that ended up in Rhodesia with the RATG. It’s a very impressive piece of work indeed. -

Brave man Tomas, but fortune favours the brave! Well done, great result. -

And all this in 1/48 Tomas! Incredible. -
Very useful, thanks Chris, lots of extra detail there. I’m going to be foiling the front end so did some work yesterday based on the Bentley drawings to get the panels right. I drew them using the software supplied with my Silhouette machine then cut them out initially from some spare black chrome bare metal foil as test pieces to get the machine settings right: Max

So they are actually fuel tanks in the wing leading edge: but I wonder what colour…..grey still?
-
Fine, thank you, grey it is.

Thanks for that Patrik, an interesting option. But I’ll tell you what…. I design and cut all my own masks and accurately applying regular square chequers is difficult enough, I can’t imagine doing tapering chequers! So I’ll stick with the later 56 Squadron scheme thank you! 😀

Good morning Tony. I have just read through Patrik’s thread on his Grebe build, beautiful little model with your help! I am making a Grebe later this year, actually it’s a Gamecock kit in 1/32 scale which I am converting to a Grebe, but I was interested in a comment of yours about “an excellent picture with the top wing removed”.
As Patrik noted, and we will both be aware, the nose area is very “busy” with cabane struts, rigging, Aldis sight, ring and bead sight etc., so such a picture could be very valuable for my build. Could you possibly send me a digital copy please? If email is easier, mine is [email protected]Thanks in anticipation

What a little gem Patrik, a stunning build. I’ll use it as inspiration for a 1/32 Grebe that I’ll be doing later this year. 56 Squadron (of course):
-
Yep, I think so Dave, very likely and good enough for me, they'll be doped red.
-
Thanks Chris, yes I have that too but no refs there. It's been suggested that they could be unpainted (silver) sections so what's showing in the red doped linen. Makes a lot of sense in the light of nothing more tangible.

I’m planning on converting the PCM 1/32 ragwing Hurricane to K5083, been collecting info for some time and compiling a list of changes needed but I can’t work out anything about the wing leading edge areas immediately either side of the nose, always seen as darker “covered?” sections: Any experts any opinions please?

Sorry, I will not be joining you on the upcoming GB.

Yes indeed Tomas, all your hard work is certainly paying off, it’s all coming together superbly well. -

Coming on very well Tomas, I’m impressed with your patience! In answer to your earlier question about drain holes in the wing of 1/32 scale Hurricanes, they are there in the ailerons and elevators of the new tool Revell (but none at all in the PCM kits) but not the actual trailing edge of the wing. The new Revell tooling is excellent, not perfect but a delight to build!
