Dunny Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hi Chris, The oil wash has really popped out the detail on the Hurricane - looking great! I fear you are in for the long haul with the yellow paint 🤣 Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will attach the Annie wings very soon and the paint may go quicker than you think then , I hope🤪😄 Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane looks great Chris! Keith Thanks Keith, hopefully the Hurricane will be finished very soon. It's strange how you can have patience with one thing but not another, get me in a queue on a phonecall and my patience soon wears thin, but multiple yellow coats on a model, no worries at all. I just have some fettling on the nacelles then I can add the PE bits to the fuselage and wings, koin the wings and get some paint brushed on . I am really looking forward to that bit. Thanks Keith Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
