Alex Gordon Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) G'day Chums,here's my take on the Ark Models Hurricane I. I wasn't ready for this one,there is a lot of work involved in putting it together.The sliding portion of the canopy is the closed item from the Airfix new tool kit suitably warmed and manipulated to alter the shape and sit.The wing leading edge lights were scratched from runner and thin wire,the glassware was flat clear sheet bent and let into the wing.The gun camera housing came from the Airfix kit as did the antenna mast and the decals.The upper wing roundels were home brewed masks and hairy sticked.The Sutton Harness was painted masking tape. Otherwise this one is OOB with Milliput taking care of the sink marks and builder induced steps and mismatches. I nearly got it right. As demanding as it is I like this kit,all the goodies for all the variants are in the box and most of it is useable. Would I build another one?Yes,a PR variant and a Sea Hurricane certainly and night fighter are on the to do list. Thanks for looking in Chums.
