Bowcat's Fly 1/32 Hurricane Mk 1

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Ian.

My first real attempt at scratch building, so a little rough, but should be OK once safely cocooned in the fuselage.

I'm now at a point I can't go any further

Hey now, there's a radiator to get built - crack on.

[Mr Bowcat]

Colin, because of the foibles with this kit I don't want to get anything glued without copious dry fitting so unfortunately it's back in the box until the harness arrives and I can get the fuselage buttoned up.

Not to worry, I've started a cheeky little side kit.

Hi Bob
Missed the start - sorry. Just had a catch up. Never heard of Fly and I also didn't know that the Finns flew Hurricanes. Looks as if you have your work cut out. Having said that you are doing a grand job. The scratched stuff makes up for some of the kit's shortcomings. Hope the wait for the harness is not too long.

Bob, I hope it isn't a Dornier Do-17!

No Ron, something completely different.

Nice work on the Hurri so far. The details look great - looking forward to the progress once the harness arrives.

Cheers

Cheers Paul.

Still no response from RB so look like I am going to have to rasise a PayPal dispute and see what alternatives are out there for the harness.

I bought a couple of Luftwaffe harnesses from RB early in the year for the big Heinkel and they took a while to arrive.

Unfortunately, I don't have a complete Sutton, just the remnants of one I've butchered (twice!), or I'd let you have it.

RB is usually pretty good, I've had many harnesses and a few razor saw blades from him, so it's strange that you've had no response.

Hopefully you can get this resolved.

Hi Bob, I think you'll find that they have not been dispatching orders due to Covid and the Polish postal service was only dealing with internal mail, the reason I say this is that all my go to ebay sellers in Poland have been closed to external ordering. regards Jim

[Mr Bowcat]

Hi Jim.

Going by their website there was a delay due to Covid, but they had re-opened, and they appear to be in S Ireland rather than Poland. However, I have had no response from them depsite numerous emails and messages via their website, and their phone number is dead, so I'm not actually sure they are currently trading??
