Nice one Steve. I haven't been following the B of B GB (shame on me), but I assume this is the new tool Hurricane? I built one a year or so back and found it quite superb.

Hi Steve,

 

quite a superb build, as usual. 

I will have to get an Airfix Hurri on of these days, before they disappear!

 

Congrats!

It's the rigging that concerns me.

Lovely job on the Hurricane! I’m doing one at the moment and whilst it needed more filler than I expected the cockpit is a gem and it’s a lovely little kit almost as good as it’s 1/48 brother which is in my all time top 5 kits of all time!

 

ref the Heyford I built it a few years ago- there is a cracking build guide in an old early 80s Scale Aviation Models mag- 

 

I used Oasis wire (stainless strips of narrow gauge wire in a pack about 80p from Hobbycraft) you’ll be the judge of whether it worked!

Very nicely done TT. The colour guide calls for bronze green but most things I've read said that in service they were painted in nivo, which yours appears to be. Am I correct?

The latest boxing looks good - No. 1 Squadron markings, France 1940.

 

I've just asked Jeff Bezos to send me another one. 😁

Thank you and sorry for the thread hijack! Yes it’s NIVO I think I used Humbrol 75- it’s all brushed 👍
