It has been awhile since my
last article
on ARC but I have been busy building quite a few models. Here is
Airfix's excellent 1/24 Hurricane done in the markings of Ian 'Widge'
Gleed. The fit and detail are superb considering this was a kit from the
early seventies. I added some extra wiring to the engine and some photo
etch seatbelts that are only half done in these pic's. The Trumpeter kit
looks good but I think I will wait for the Mk IIb or IIc versions before I
splash out on another big Hurricane.

I really love these old
1/24 k its and am glad to see Trumpeter
is taking up the banner now with
some high tech moldings. You can pick this kit up for a fraction of the
price and you won't be disappointed straight OOB. Just beware of the
decals as they can be a nightmare.
