Thanks John. I have started working on this one now, and you are absolutely correct. The fit has not been too bad so far. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this.

Thanks my friend. I hope to get this one done soon. And then I want to tackle my Korean War Hobbycraft Sea Fury. It has been placed in the "queue" to get started soon. I wanted to build it for our Korean War Group, as it will be drawing to an end soon.

If Erik is OK with it, I would like to make a double entry, and post it here as part of the Hawker Group as well.

Hello Eric ! Yes sir, I am very pleased with how the decals look. I have kept most of my stash squirreled away in our closets over the years, so they have been kept in a smoke free air conditioned setting, which I think helped tremendously. Time will tell me soon enough if they are as good as they look. I'll scan them first before I soak them in water just to be safe...
I am going to do the red spinner plane. I have it built and painted now, the prop is ready to install when the time comes. I had to add a touch of LQS filler on the back sides of the prop blades because there is a small sink mark at the base of each blade. It was no big deal and it only took a few minutes of sanding once the LQS had fully dried. I'll try to post up some progress pictures soon.
Yes the ZY-V has been repainted into the colors you see here. My understanding is that it was one of the Hurricanes that was flown by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. They decided to give the old girl a facelift and she really looks sharp. They did a wonderful job with it. It was a close toss up over which one I wanted to do. In the end, the more colorful version won...

I agree with you 100 percent. In fact I have already completed the spinner, the fuselage is assembled and I have the cockpit ready to be installed. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted up soon.
Thanks everyone for stopping by.
Please stay tuned, I'll try to get some pictures up here soon. 🙂
