Hello chaps,

Kit: Arma Hobby Hurricane Mk.II (70036)

Decals: various from the spares box.

Paints: Mr Surfacer 1500
AK Real Colours (Air)

Sundries: Mr Cement SP, generic CA glue.

Firstly thanks to Andy and Karl for arranging this GB.

I’ve finally finished my first entry. It went together very nicely and has some cracking detail for a 1/72 scale kit.

The wing landing lights are the only thing that proved a big awkward. If I build another one of these I would fit them before painting so as to sand them in for a better fit.
I’m also not happy with the canopy either as it’s a bit messier than I would like :disappointed2: but I’ve run out of steam with the build now so it will just have to do. I do have a spare so may revisit it in the future.

Anyway here are the pictures :smiling3:
