Re: Twin wing Hurricane
I'm now on short finals
I think my yellow "P" are just a tad to large but they will have to do as it's all I have

Re: Twin wing Hurricane
That looks fantastic splash. I kind of feel like the top wing is a little high up though.
Nice work still.

The top wings not attached yet so I still have time to adjust it, but looking at photos the wing was quite high as it needed to clear the tail when releasedBlohmWolf wrote:That looks fantastic splash. I kind of feel like the top wing is a little high up though.

Re: Twin wing Hurricane
Really looking good, fantastic work hacking the upper wing into shape.
FYI for the next one you build , I think Xtradecal has a sheet of generic "circle-P's".

Re: Twin wing Hurricane
Wings look equally level, struts pretty well-aligned - looks good !
You might look at the left wheel while you're looking for the tail wheel.
