Thanks Pedro, the interior takes up most of the build time. But once the fuselage and wings are assembled, the rest of the build will proceed a bit more rapidly.
Erik, a bit more bits and some seam work, hopefully ready for paint soon.

Thanks Spiros, Airfix and a bit of help with the Eduard's PE does liven up the cockpit a bit. I will display this with the cockpit opened.

George, the wings were ok, no warpage, though our dear friend Louis did point out that on his build of his Airfix Hurricane, that the forward wing spars were a bit wide and would not allow the upper and lower front edge to meet properly. So with that bit of intelligence, I went over the area where the lower inner panel rests and sanded that down a bit, and that solved any issue. The wings went together ok.

Now a bit more to work on the lower fuselage front and rear. Starting at the bottom of the nose.

The front lower nose panel insert is attached. Good fit here, this kit is really a Sea Hurricane, but has all the parts for the Mk.1 base aircraft. I could not find any Airfix Mk.1 kits so opted with this version that retained the original base parts. Thus the lower front insert that is used for the Mk.1.

Next the rear lower panel is attached in place under the rear fuselage, just aft of the wing to fuselage join. Again, the Sea Hurricane part has the arresting hook bay, whereas the base mk.1 has just the tail wheel. The fit is generally good, just a very easy to clean up gap at the trailing edge of the wing. Each side of the panel fit is very good,..

A nice feature are separate ailerons provided in the kit. An opportunity for a modeler to pose them. I chose to leave them in a neutral position. Good fit here as well.

Airfix also shows how to pose them in several settings in case you wish to use this feature.

As I progress more into this kit, I really am pleased with the nice features Airfix provides for the modeler and yet not over engineered.

Before starting work on the tail, just a bit of filler is used on the top seam over the nose and behind the cockpit seam. Underneath, the wing to nose and fuselage join.

Letting the putty set, I started work on the horizontal stabs and rudder.

Starting with the horizontal tail. Each stab is in lower and upper halves and assemble with no issues.

Each stab is attached to the tail, again good fit here as well.

The fit is tight but not to the point to fight them being inserted into the slots. Which also insures being level once the cement sets. Right next to the front edge of the rudder, where the stabs are inserted into the fuselage, there are a couple of sink holes that need to be filled. Only unusual discrepancy on the fuselage, or the whole kit to this point.

The elevators are one piece. Which is separate from the stabs. You can also pose this as well, and in this case I will pose it in the down position.

Very delicate piece so be careful removing it from the sprue tree. Place the elevators hinge point to the tail, and the end cap fits over this to sandwich the elevator to the fuselage while placing a bit of cement to where it meets with the stabs on both sides.

Finally the rudder is place over the end cap, and will be in the right turn position.

This will give a bit of character, as if the Hurricane doesn't already have it, while parked.

Next up details under the air frame, more to follow.

Eric, yes that is so cool with a heads up. Those reviews come in handy just like I hope this helps to the modeler who has this kit and is put off with all that framework to start off the build.

That's a fantastic progress and an equally fantastic pic tutorial, Chuck @uscusn!
Feels like I myself building it, thanks to your extensive, thorough and pleasant altogether build thread.

I really like the way they cast the gun sight with no ugly seam down the middle!

Thanks Eric, and crystal clear too and easy to attach on the cowl panel.
Thanks Spiros, similar aircraft like the Mustang and others also have a similar radiator scoop under the airframe which some only provide the face of the radiator. Airfix has well detailed parts which you can see even with the front scoop attached.

Thanks George, yes finally getting there. And it was a nice kit to work on. By reading the build reviews from reliable credible builders prior helps to achieve an excellent model.
This step I will start with the prop.

Next up to the paint booth...more to follow
