    Some progress...


    -IP was painted black (awaiting painting of the instruments)
    -Sidewalls had their molded on details painted black and received some black wash.
    -Fuselage halves were joined, followed by the wing. Here is:
    Fit was challenging here, with generous use of liquefied styrene as a gap filler!
    Thanks for stopping by!

    Even starts to look like a great Hurricane, Spiros @fiveten
    Your work with LqS is again very helpful to get a gapless build.

    Your Hurricane is moving along rapidly and looking appropriately seamless, Spiros. Great job on filling the gaps, they are undetectable now. If I didn't know it was the Revell, I would think it was the Hasegawa, 1/48 version. This is shaping up to be an impressive model and I am really looking forward to the paint finish. BTW, are you using/adapting the kit decals to your chosen scheme? They look to be pretty good quality.

    @fiveten I'm not great fan of Hurricane (I don't know why? Mabye so outdated in compare with Spitfire?), but your work looks great!

    Thanks my friend @coling!
    The decals look to have been done by Scalemaster (though I cannot state this in gull confidence): they look nice and in excellent condition. I will go for the eye catching non standard hornet boxart scheme!

    Just some work in between the 1/24 Huey drying intervals. It is kind of mind refreshing, too!
