The canopy is on - suddenly it starts to look like a Hurricane!
There's a bit of a gap between the two parts, I'll need to fill that after I've done the masking. The frame lines are rather shallow so I think I'll use BMF for masking.
Underneath, we now have 8 ejection slots not 4, as well as the air intake and radiator cowl.
The radiator cowl was really badly moulded - lots of flash, and the front end of the main part, as well as the sides, were distorted. I'm trying to build it up to a better shape with thin layers of Mr Dissolved Putty. The u/c gear doors are stuck in with white-tack, ready for painting. I don't usually prime, but I think I'll need to with this one. I've got a few rattle cans of various automotive primers.
