Yes it is... I agree with Allan.

You have made some good progress my friend. Thanks for posting the latest updates. I always look forward to seeing your latest work. Very meticulous and detail oriented.

The Airfix Hurricane is one of their best from the "New" Airfix in my opinion. The only thing I recommend you do is to lightly sand down the thickness a little on the main wing spars. If you don't, then you will have a hard time getting the wing halves to join together. It can be done, but a lot of force will be involved.

I also found a small sink mark present on each side of the fin assembly, just at the leading edge of where the stabilizer would attach. It's easier to fix it before the stabilizers are glued in position.

I hope this helps...

I like it... 🙂

Thanks gents - Louis I will look out for those elements as I go. I will dry fit rigorously around the Hurri wings!

Wow, Louis, that looks like it has been through the wringer! Interesting to see the mix of interior green and aluminium on the frame!

Thanks for posting - very illuminating!

Just sat the cockpit sub-assembly in position on the lower wing

And a couple more shots of the Eduard etch in place.

Excellent Paul, perfect reason I love the Eduards zoom set, the enhancements really helps an already pretty good cockpit from the base kit. Just really makes it pop. Well done. The Lysander is really coming along as well. This is the one kit I am so looking forward to it's completion. Very inspirational. Looking forward to the next stage.

Hi Paul:

Very nice work on this. A couple things for information (mostly for others right now and for you in the future) regarding seatbelts.

1. That "Y" shaped piece of the seatbelt on a Sutton harness should have the tips of the "Y" glued to the harness just behind the buckles. Google "photos of Sutton harness" you will see what I mean, and Eduard's instructions make a point of this since it's "obscure information."

2. In all my years flying, I never saw "neat" seat belts - they get twisted around, sat on, saturated in sweat, etc. etc. The result is they aren't neat. With Eduard p-e seatbelts, this is easy to represent - you can bend and twist the metal easily (not too much! Just a little bit!) then "plop" them in the seat when you attach them. (this is something one only becomes aware of through direct experience)

Other than that (and this isn't a complaint) that cockpit looks very realistic, and I am sure 99.9999% of viewers will never notice the things I said about the seatbelts. But since you like realism (and do it so well) it's info for the next project.

Outstanding postings as usual Paul... I am very impressed with how great those extra Eduard bits look. They help to bring a very good "out of the box build" up to the next level, and knock it out of the park...

I always seem to learn more from my mistakes than anything else... I guess hat's why they call it the "school of hard knocks".

By now I'm a graduate of this school as the class valedictorian.

Looking forward to the next installment... well done my friend.
