Ozzy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I'm going to build my hurricane second, so I can get some top tips off you all. Having given the kit the once over and having seen the ones posted on this site, I can't wait until twomorrow. Phantom looks fantastic.

The dragonborn Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 About time I got this one going, so here goes the cockpit: Pilot: I even achieved the same smug grin as per instructions Instrument panel with decal that I used revell aqua mix to dissolve: Matt varnish, drybrush and gloss on dials: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dragonborn Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Getting ready for marriage: While dry fitting I found that the firewall and instrument panel was causing a slight gap at the wing join, and the front of the wing root needs a blob of filler. a quick tape together, nice fit..... well almost, quite a step at the lower cowl, hopefully it will be better when cemented in place: 2015-07-24_11-49-17 by mudkiper, on Flickr IMO small fit issues aside this kit shows that Airfix really have upped their game over the last few years.

The dragonborn Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 How did i miss this sink mark hole Fixed that cavity and got the tail parts on: underside shows filler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick32 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Good stuff, and that was a bit unlucky having that hole in the tail - I ran off to check mine.. We are pretty much at the same point with out Hurricanes, but i'm having a hell of a time sorting out the seams on the wings, it seems they didn't go together quite as smoothly as i would have liked.

Ozzy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Just had a look at mine, not quite a hole, but you can see a differance in the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
