Pretty Mediocre Modeller Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi theplasticsurgeon,Looking good so far, like your build of the Battle of France version. Just a little bit of advice for the rag wing hurricane, if it's not to late for your build. Airfix have provided a good representation of the fabric on the wings, but have gone a little to far. The area behind the gun access panels on the top wing was actually metal sheeting as the armourer had to clamber over this area, but is represented as fabric, a little filler and sanding will sort this out.PMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
