COMPLETED - Bowcat's Fly 1/32 Hurricane Mk 1

[Mr Bowcat]

Hi Guys,

I'm very pleased to say that I am done with this hateful kit.



I thought I'd include this pic of my home made canopy. It's pretty crappy (much like the rest of the kit) but is my first ever attempt at vacuforming so I'm kinda proud of it.



And here she is on the shelf next to her big brother and later descendant.

You've certainly beaten that into submission Bob, looks great. I must remember never to try a Fly kit.

Well done!

I'm familiar with this kit having built a couple myself. I understand your tribulations but you have ended up with a model that looks very much like a Hurricane

You even managed the little photo-etch landing light thingies. I'm sure I lost at least one of mine, or stuck it to the neighbour's cat!

You’ve done a great job Bob, it doesn’t show the problems you had with it.

Well done Bob. Like Steve, I've had some experience of a Fly Hurricane, so feel your pain. However, it's done, and doesn't it look great ?

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

Looks great Bob. Not sure about having a go at my Mk.IIc kit now after your build. Looks like a bit of a meal to make.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Alan, I don't want to put anyone else off, but I hated this build toward the end.

Nicely done Bob, especially that homemade vac formed canopy.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.
