Superb work on the Hotspur, it is looking fantastic especially with so much scratch building and alteration to the base kit
Best wishes

Amazing work as always, I've never heard of the Hotspur and this is a fantastic looking conversion from the Hurricane.

Fantastic scratch-building! Your father is a machine! It is amazing he keeps his quality so high when he builds so fast. The natural metal finishes are sooo clean! :grin:

Very smooth and very shiny! How has your dad done the NMF's on that pair? foil or something like Alclad?

Hi,

Many thanks for your comments.

My father is building two more Defiants and he has finished the second and last Hawker Hotspur.
