Exactly what I was thinking. The colours look like they are straight from the plans.Very nice indeed.....
.... and that colour looks spot on to me,well done.

Thank you Steve. The decals actually took a surprisingly long time. Aligning the three letters on the fuselage was much more difficult than expected.Crickey Andreas. That is some micro scale work especially on the decals. Great job
I intentionally try to keep the colors very bright. I think that's what the small scale needs.Exactly what I was thinking. The colours look like they are straight from the plans.
Thank you Andrew.Coming on very nicely!!
I found this side view and it says No.1 Squadron. But I am completely ignorant when it comes to British aircraft.Ah! you're doing a 213sqn bird as well. Nice
Thank you Lee.Nice little build the Camo looks great in this scale.
Help me out Joe, I can't figure it out - what have I messed up?Wonderful scratch building and modifications Andreas. Just one thing you may wish to review, the aileron positions.
Andrea. I thought I could but I think this is a Joe Question. The only thing I can see is that maybe the rear flaps needs to be in the “Down” position if the Aircraft is parked but I’ve seen it in both ways like yours and down.Help me out Joe
Thank you Lee.

Thanks Lee. I actually turned in the rear flaps a little bit down. That was the first thing I noticed in many hurricane photos.Andrea. I thought I could but I think this is a Joe Question.

Hello Steve, that was also my first impression when I looked at a few photos. That's why I only folded in the stern rudders a little at first. But then I found a photo of exactly the machine for which I had decals - and see for yourself...In the parked position the Ailerons would normally be in a neutral position ie level with the wing. The rear elevator woulds be inclined towards the ground and any flaps in the closed position. You can bet your life someone will find a picture that contradicts these normal positions.
Thank you Joe! I hope I can correct this somehow. The problem is that the control surfaces of this tiny thing are way too big, so the national roundels go over it... Damn! Good thing I didn't dwell on weathering yesterday! Thank you again, Joe, for the valuable advice.They move opposite to each other, if one is down the other is up.
I wouldn't worry in the slightest Andreas. I will be displaying my Hurricane in the parked position with flaps down so they can be seen.Thanks Lee. I actually turned in the rear flaps a little bit down. That was the first thing I noticed in many hurricane photos.

Me too it looks great I wouldn’t chance messing up the decals for such a small glitch that most people doesn’t know. I would leave it alone.I wouldn't worry in the slightest Andreas.

Thanks Andy, as always I see a lot of things that I'm not so happy with. Still, it's just time to get the little thing ready before it starts to get dusty.That's looking great for something so tiny!

I painted a few more details and gave the plane some matt varnish. I'm also trying to make an antenna out of my wife's hair... Just normal stuff!
