*DNF* - Beany's Buccaneer - well, actually it's a Corsair II
Revell 1/32 Royal Navy Corsair II
I'll call it a 13:00 start as part have already been cut from the runners. This kit cost me £12.00 in the kit swap at Telford last November.
I shall be using mostly Tamiya acrylics for the fast drying times for spraying and Revell Aquas for hand brushing the detail for the same reason.
A bit of vintage Motown on the turntable to ease me into the build - The Commodores and Flying High.
I'll break out the Prog Rock later when things start to get more intense!!
Lots of gluing to do first probably, then a couple of hours break to watch the Calcutta Cup this afternoon.
Over ambitious is still my middle name but I reckon the simplicity of this kit and the relatively low parts count should make it a viable Blitzbau so wish me luck!
Cheers

Don't remember a 1/32 aircraft blitz before but 'why not?'. Good luck.

Nice! I don't know that I've seen that kit built. Looking forward to it.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Great progress. I missed the Me-262 when I was away for the summer. Looks good.

17:00 Update
Doesn't look like much progress but I've been flat out mixing paint and tidying up flash and seam lines etc. before painting.
The pilot has had dark blue undercoat for the trousers, black boots and brown undercoat for his leather jacket. There will be dry brushed with lighter colours.
The exhaust pipes have had dark brown mottled over with leather brown to look rusty - still wet at the moment so should dry to look more matt.
Wheels have had Anthracite applied.
Rugby now - England v Scotland, so back in a couple hours or so.

Off to a great start, Al but I have to say that is an odd looking Hurricane and it doesn't look at all like either the desert or BoB version (Whilst I've got my plane spotters anorak on, I thought the Corsair II is a jet?) You've had some quality prog on too. Far out, man.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Is that pilot doing a bit of hula hooping...
As for the earlier photos ..the green is set off well on that pink background. And with the white bits in middle of image it looks good and artistic.
Your doing well keept up the good work

Good luck that’s a big build.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

19:30 Update (sorry, forgot to include the tablet with the time on!)
Decal applied to instrument panel.
Joystick mounted in cockpit tub - second coat of paint added.
Canopy dipped in Klear and also brushed onto the aging decal sheet, which will get at least one more coat.
Second coat of interior green to everything else.
Alan Parsons Project - I Robot on the CD player.
and that dinner time here in Chilly Chellaston on the first day of play.

Engine assembled.
More detail painting on undercarriage, pilot, propeller and interior surfaces.
Taking a break to watch TV for an hour then a final push before bed.
Cheers
