Hey guys, the plane is finally finished :D , I forgot about it for a few days so that's why it took longer than expected, I also had problems with getting and mixing the paint so it added more time, a while back I made my own colour of paint, then when I came to use it again it was almost like a paste, so I worked at it and it turned out not bad
And like all things, it ran out :mad: So off I went again mixing paint into a small paint pot to make the perfect colour :P Then I used up all that :eek: But thankfully it all turned out okay in the end. :D
By the way, this is only the finished pictures as I forgot to take during the build
:oops::mad:

If anyone wants to know the issues I had with this kit then here they are:
I can't remember if there was actually an aerial that came with the kit or if I just lost it, so I had to cut off a spare gun from a hawker hurricane kit to put it on, adding extra work :mad: But that one may be my fault :rolleyes::oops:
Some of the parts such as the engine required trimming because they wouldn't fit
The
decals to go around the engine cover won't fit round it correctly, so I left them and painted them on,
Although, there are a lot of good points to this kit: :D
The other
decals are perfectly fine
The wheels have different shapes to fit into the fusilage so you know which one is the right wheel and which one is the left wheel :D
There is very little glass to work with so it doesn't matter how you sit the pilot into the cockpit :P
I would definitely recommend this kit to anyone considering it as the finish looks absolutely fantastic for such a small kit :D
