Yeah it's packed in there and I love the way Arma Hobby fits the parts. I did have to "adjust" a few things to make the wing fit because it fits very snuggly. A little sanding here, scraping there and with a little tape and clamping it looks good.

I've since attached the tail planes and made up the radiator scoop. I need to do a little filling here and there and it should be ready for black basing.
Starts to look like a Hurricane ! :-)

I've done a lot since my last post.

The kit is together except for the gear and prop. The painting and weathering is done but still want to add a little chipping.
One of the gear came off while priming.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

That is a beauty!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

OK, Its complete. Nice kit, great detail. I did have a very few fit issues but they were probably mine. The gear can be installed at the end avoiding breaking the part. I have another Arma kit that I'll build later with my experience with this build.

In keeping with the spirit of your Polish Hurricane subject, “Repeat please”. :wink:
"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
