Speedy, you'll be at paint in no time.

Yes this model goes together very quickly with no bother at all, and the next job is the paintwork, which I guess is what this whif is all about.

Looking sweet, can't wait til you put her dress on

This morning I did a paint test.
1. Does the orange need to be painted over white? 2. Is the overall idea okay?

Found that the orange does not want to be over white as it makes it a little too bright, and I think the overall idea will work okay. I'll strip this paint off now and start the painting proper.

Depending on the effect I'm after I would normally paint orange over grey for a duller effect, yellow for a more vibrant one as in DayGlo or red for a deeper one. Yellow may be what you're looking for. and that is looking really nice so far, great paintwork

Looks great so far, I would go with a grey too.

Thanks Kitaholic, thanks Marky. It seemed when I tried it that the duller effect suited better, but might just try the yellow to see what it looks like.

This is going to look cool!

The test paintwork looks good. Can't wait to see the final job.

I never saw this paint scheme on a Hurricane before. I like it

[Jagewa]

Woohoo, it certainly suits it!

[Molly-new]

Those stripes look cool, looking forward to seeing it in it's full guise.

[Martin R]

Wow! I think I'd have been happy with the test paintwork.

[despondman]

I didn't like the orange paint I had planned to use and had to wait a few days before I could get a better alternative.
Now the Hurricane is a nice orange and white. Next job the stripes.
