Progress of my builds will be recorded here.

I'll be building a defiant, a couple of hurricanes, & possibly a mossie as well.

I'm starting in a bit but I can't decide wether to do a Defiant or a Hurricane first. Someone decide for me please...

Hurricane, too many defiants around atm ;-) and far too easy out of the box. A black hurri is on my list in diecast but too expensive on the bay it seems. Plastic it is for me so id like to see your version as inspiration George ;-)

Speedy George!

Mind you it doesn't take very long to knock together a Hurri or two.

Thanks chaps; All done! First of many builds for this GB.
Here's the last few progress photos & a finished picture. More in the gallery.
Here it is after it dried.

Laying the wing roundels onto a wet layer of Klear didn't work out well, so I left it to dry overnight & finished it off before work this morning.

The finished article!

If you'd waited I could have sent you a wheel bay (which reminds me, I have to send a couple to a friend ...)

Nice quick build George.

I only got my Boston in this morning's post and havn't even opened it yet so I feel like I'm lagging behind now.
