A bit more done: now it looks like a Hurricane, but I managed to create a non existent Mk.
In fact, I didn't remember that the kit provides two noses, one for the homeland Mk1 and one for the "trop" version so I managed to glue the "trop"nose on the fuselage and discovered it when, gluing the wings, a large gap appeared between the lower part of the engine cowl and the landing gear box. Changing nose was out of question as the whole cockpit would have been touched and probably beyond repair.
I managed to unglue (thanks to TET debonding qualities) the central-front lower wing part and replace it with the "trop"nose one. Now there's no gap between the engine cowl lower part and the wing but I have a Mk 1a (where a stands for Andy)
. As already said, SteveT you are not alone
Positive notes:
- the Cartograf IP decal has fully settled and now looks the part;
- the wing/fuselage junction required some filing and filling but it's definitely good. The small wingy things on the tail glued into place with no. Thproblems at all.
