Re: Motley's Hurried Hurricane
Well heres another update 4 hours down now, and its all painted up, just working on the under cart, got to do the canopy then its on with the decals and its done. Must say i do love hurricanes and i am loving this model
Brews on the box the kit number is 02082A if that means anything, Thanks everyone for the encouragement, surprised ive even got to this point seeing my mojo hasnt been around much recently but looks like it might be back think im going to have to invest in some more of these and other Hurricanes

Re: Motley's Hurried Hurricane
Good going. I really like the demarcation line on the camo. Nice and tight yet appears feathered.

Re: Motley's Hurried Hurricane
Sweet,
Off to relax? I thought that's why you build models. After 5 hours you should be plenty relaxed.
