Missed a lot of this Ian so apologies for that .
The good thing catching up is you get to see the build far quicker .
Some nice modelling and paint work though out.

No problem John, with all the posts going on the forum ( which is a good thing ) its hard to keep up at times. I know I'm guilty of it. Really glad your liking it though.

I love it when any build mine finally stands on its own three legs, it's a mile stone.
Great work Ian.

Got the decals on, still need to get them to sit nicely. Then it’s onto the weathering.

Always a nice sight when then decals are on nice progress Ian.

Thanks guys, I’m really enjoying this build. For an old kit just like the Hurricane it’s going together very nicely.

Hi Ian, Wow brings back memories indeed , I built the 24th scale spitfire, in my late teens why I had to build the Mk 0ne 1/18th scale spitfire build for why they went that scale for I don' know. Will finish the cockpit screwing it to the cradle, expensive build will did out a pic of my holding the finished spitfire, Tony
