I was a bit weary of spraying Klear at first, but found if you immediatly spray through with Windowlene (the clear stuff, although I suppose the pink stuff works as well) there are no problems, it gives a thinner coat and dries much quicker, so you can apply 3 coats quite quickly.

This is my Hurricane , with 3 coats of Klear

well finely finished the build tonight.

One thing I did not mention was that when I opened the kit there was two sets of decals, which I was rather glad of , because I managed to damage two or three of them.

Conclusion: Would I do this kit again. (Most certainly, it was a joy to build and it has been added to my Christmas list.)

Would I do things different? (Yes as this kit was built OOB, I would proberly use some after market material and possible an alternative subject. I would certainly practice applying Klear by brush or spray.(the camera flash flatters the finish of Klear.))

To finish; I must thank everyone in this group build for me to be able to see how differently we all approached this model, and to be able to use some of the methods that were applied.
