Got a little done this evening. The guns were still not dry when I took the pic so I’ll have fine tune them when I put the wings on. 
Lee Drennen’s 1/72 Matchbox Hawker Hurricane IIC

Ready for paint. I really wasn’t impressed with this build I thought this Matchbox kit would be a lot better to go together than expected there were some fit issues but the fuselage went together nicely.

Good luck with your painting Lee. That must be quite a small model to work on at 1/72

Looking fine Lee. I suppose you have to expect fit problems with a kit which is 50 years old.
Yes it is but it will be good practice for me to do more Camo schemes
Thanks Jim. I guess I was high hoping being what the reviews were. I don’t think I’ll be building much Matchbox in the future
Thanks Andrew. I really don’t like this color combo plastic at all
Got some painting done today. First I painted a base coat of gray then I outlined my Camo pattern within a pencil. Next I thought I would try out my New Airbrush my wife bought me last fall. This is my first time using it so I thought I would be good practice on this build. The cordless brush is nice for a beginner like me. I have some over spray on it next time I will mask with Modeling clay. I’ll re-paint the gray to get rid of the over spray by hand painting it after I think about this I wonder if I should just stick to hand painting my Camo like I’ve done for years but playing with the airbrush was fun and a great learning curve.

Thanks Geoff I did miss some spots so I’m going back over it on the tail section where I missed. I’ll try some modeling clay for a mask and see if it works.
