Thank you Stix. Its good to know putting in the extra effort is paying off. Generally i build straight out the box - wheels down. So trying to do what i'm doing with this kit has streched my limited abilities! Cheers Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Finally!! Finished as much as i can do! The prop blur i proposed wasn't working for me so i have just added the spinner without blades. Overall i have enjoyed this project, and has led to my first GB on BM. Here's one of the pics, the rest should appear in the Gallery. Thanks to all for the support and encouragement, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm still being all smug and happy at seeing one of my favourite old kits turned into something so striking/ I agree with you on the prop blur thing, by the way. I'd rather make something that looks like an aeroplane in flight than something that looks like a photograph of an aeroplane in flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Superb end product Greg,love the display idea,really effective,great job all round! Cheers Steve, got there in the end, by keeping it as straightforward as possible. What a great looking Hurricane. You've nailed the take off really well. Joe Thanks Joe. I took ages trying to get the angel for the take off pose, but the time spent has been worth the dithering lol! Great work my friend, the second great BoB from your bench Thank you Bernd, glad you like it. I'm looking forward to seeing yours progress now.

I'd rather make something that looks like an aeroplane in flight than something that looks like a photograph of an aeroplane in flight. Many thanks for the kind comments. The old tool Hurricane is still a nice model to build. I again procrastinated over the prop blur, and did make one for it. In the end i felt it obscured the overall look of the model and left it off. Kind regards Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be ecstatic with that result Rob Thanks Rob, for once i am quite pleased with how this one turned out. I put in a bit of extra effort in the spirit of the GB and for the Battle of Britain as this, to me, is something of a tribute build.
