1:72 Hasegawa Hurricane IIb (Trop)

I dug this kit out of the stash on Sunday. I doubt if it's been worked on in the past decade, almost certainly not in the past six years...prime KUTA material!

 

The airframe is mostly complete, and the fuselage has already had Mr. Surfacer applied to reduce the overdone fabric effect. Making life interesting, the tropical filter, decals and instructions were missing.

 

The decals aren't an issue as my plan is to finish it as BD930, FG-(Sigma) of 335 (Greek) Squadron at El Alamein, November 1942.

Monday's effort consisted of installing the standard air filter underside on the nose and then gluing on a Vokes filter swiped from an old Revell kit, as well as assembling and installing the radiator (I could have sworn I took a "before" pic of the underside, but I must have pressed the wrong button on my phone). Anyway, here's the "after" photo:
