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 :-D think im going to have to invest in some more of these and other Hurricanes :)

Good going. I really like the demarcation line on the camo. Nice and tight yet appears feathered.

And its overrrr :) After 5 hour and 47 minutes the Hurricane is finally finished :), im really happy with my effort and i do think it could possibly be the best model ive made yet and it was on my first Blitz, really enjoyed this, defo up for another Blitz next time or maybe another in this one if i have time ;-) Wasnt the hardest of builds but i have done somethings ive never done before like filling gaps and using all the decals, so im really proud of this build and myself :)

Ill take some better pictures tomorrow when the light is better, now im off to cook some dinner and relax, enjoyyy :)

Sweet,

Off to relax? I thought that's why you build models. After 5 hours you should be plenty relaxed. :ha:
