bigbadbadge Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Hi all A small update, Seafire underside well underway with a second coat of Sky I don't know why I do this to myself, I should have left them, but just can't help myself 🙄. I had put the guns too far forward and thought whilst I had changed the other bits that weren't correct I had better correct them too. Cutting off the cannons I reduced the length of the mount area, luckily only one was damaged and easily fixed Reinstated and now a more correct length underside of these now painted. Undercarriage legs on too. Rear wheel built and just undergoing some fettling. Thanks for looking Chris 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Very thorough work Chris, I had a good look round the Shuttleworth Sea Hurricane today. The colours of your model look very faithful to what I saw. Wish I'd thought to take some pictures for you but it was just a quick stop off on my way home from visiting my dad. Richie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Roger Thanks Roger, yes fortunately only one got damaged amazingly, now drilled, pinned and reattached is very strong now. Just got to add some drain pipes and can start getting the final bits and bobs sorted hopefully. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 She's a beauty, Chris! Nice fix with the cannons - one of those things that you can't unsee so always worth sorting! The TSS really suits the Hurricane IMHO. Cheers, Mark 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winded Penguin Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Some really lovely subtle added detail, especially on the underside shots 👍 Raising the bar really high in -a good way- for anyone tempted to build a Sea Hurricane. Indeed, your work with dark sea grey etc, could very well turn a young man's head 😄 Edited April 27 by Winded Penguin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to add the little bits the Troy kindly pointed out and on the walkaround images. I am quite chuffed tonight as exhausts on , walkways painted and undercarriage doors cut to shape too, hope to finish it in the next few days now.
