There is quite a bit more to come before we are up to where I put it on the shelf 5 years ago
-
Ha hi guys! So busy playing catch up I nearly missed your posts! I hope so Derek!, And Hi Stevo!
-
Next job was to build some much more realistic wing fairings, as these really do form a big part of the Hurricane's character the way the cowl has to fit around them. I believe the canopy I ended up using was from the Tony Nijhuis design.
-
This model will be powered by the same Laser 80 that flew my same sized Warbirds Hurricane very successfully. So the engine was fitted and the cowl cut to suit.

Just noticed those pictures were BEFORE I moved the tail plane ribs! I couldn't live with the look so stripped the covering, reworked the ribs and re covered and rib taped it again! :D
-
2nd job was to work on the tail feathers. I re positioned the tailplane ribs to a more scale position so that when rib tape was added later it wouldn't look wrong. I also added Robart style scale hinges with half round L/E's and shrouds covering the hinge lines. The elevator control was converted to an internal horn on the link wire, and a rudder horn was made for a closed loop system.

I need to work out how to use this forum again to add photos and also add the text! First job was to remove the covering, then close off the cockpit for a smaller canopy, and build the recessed section inside the rear cockpit area. Edit: Oh, and also to rework the front fus panels.

Hi all, I did start a thread on this project somewhere over 5 years ago before dropping out of the hobby completely and shelving the project. Well the bug has returned to get back in to flying and building, and I have been dusting this project off to continue where I left off. I can't find the old thread no more, and there was way too many posts to try and reconstruct it so I'll just do a picture and caption catch up of what I have actually done with this model. It was originally an ARTF with really ugly plastic covering. But underneath that covering lurked a half decent model, so I decide to strip it and rework the air frame to see how far I could take it. I'll do this in segments to try and prevent the posts from becoming too large
