Progress has been made on this, but yet again no pictures, need to hunt down some new batteries. Ive now got the camo painted and all the little bits all painted up and its standing on its legs now, just need to get all the pieces on and the decals done which im going to try and get done today so i can finish before the dead line

Finally finished this one today, first Russian to go in to my Hurricane collection. Overall the build went smoothly and had no real problems, the Airfix kit is a lovely kit that does just fall toegther. This was the first real use of after market products for me. The 3d kits set was perfect to use and would well recommend it to anyone, i know ill be getting a few more sets to do IIds with. On the model ive left the fairings off one of the guns as i thought it would be a shame to hide sa lovely bit of detail. So here is my finished Hurricane,

Great work Motley.

After seeing your build I'm now tempted to build one myself.
