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

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

Re: Hrubisko Workbench
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!

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.

Hi guys
Many thanks. Yes, my father has been building quite fast recently.
The Hawker Hotspur is done as well as fourth more Defiants. Here are the photos I have so far.

Re: Hrubisko Workbench
Very nice work. I'm building a couple of Defiants at the moment.
So many models, so little time.

Re: Hrubisko Workbench
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.
Hawker Hotspur K8309 ( Prototype) which was used for flap and dive brake development at A&AEE.
Both models together.
One of the shelves
Half of one diplay cabinet almost full. We are running out of space.
Cheers
