Finland's upper camo is mostly complete, and I splashed a layer of Pledge over top. I also installed the exhaust stacks. I do think I need a camo touch-up here or there, but close to getting the upper markings on.

A bit more progress . . . Finland has her skis! These are the Kora resin parts and they work quite nicely. I have the prop, pitot tube, and aerial mast on now, too. I have the canopy and windscreen painted, so now it's just a matter of doing some clear coat work before I can wrap her up.

That is really neat with the skis!  It looks terrific in Finnish markings.

Thanks, @opus999

 

I masked up the landing and navigation lights and took Finland (Arma Mk I) outside to spray a matt clear coat.

Now the canopy is on and I'm just working on the underside ID light now before she'll be completed.

Finland is all done now. I'll probably do an RFI for her, not necessarily because she is particularly well built, but rather because I think a Hawker Hurricane on skis is just a really cool and interesting subject! Here are two pictures for now.

Excellent work, ME, Finland looks superb on her skis! On to the next one?

 

Cheers,

You bet, Mark! Eventually, anyway... Germany (Arma Mk I) is primed and patiently awaiting some paint!
