Hello everyone. I finished this build in June this year... But finally I've found some time and a good sheet of white paper to make pictures and post them here... This is my ready for inspection Hurricane and Swordfish (Airfix, 1/72) from Operation Torch kit. Here you see the building process (I still didn't move all the pictures from the PhotoBucket, but if you got a proper add-on for your browser you may see them all): It was a lovely build. As you may see I continued experimenting with weathering. Also it was my first experience with rigging. Hurricane was built straight from the box. And Swordfish got Eduard zoom set, AMMO rigging line, Albion tubes and beading wire. Swordfish also shows a canvas patchwork on the portside and some of the engine cowling panels replaced from another Swordfish with different camouflage.

Hello everyone, After my last 7-months build in 1/32 scale I decided to do something really easy...

The kit provides two sets of wings thus different Hurry versions can be built. The instruction explains only a carrier based version (Sea Hurricane), so a section of both fuselage halves requires cut off to fit an arresting hook mechanism: The interior is very basic but should not be a problem as I don't plan to leave it opened: Everything fits really well though some putty will be needed around arresting hook and for those nasty deepenings behind the wing...
