      Thanks Steve and Geoff. Appreciate you looking in.

      A bit more progress. Figures painted. They are very small at 1/72 and I'm no figure painter. Excuses, excuses!

      Hurricane painted and decalled. The decals were horrible, very glossy. Even after a coat of matt varnish they still have issues. Hopefully weathering will help. Luckily only needed the decals on the top. Plane fixed onto the base with two part epoxy and the ground built up with VMS Smart Mud.

      Still a way to go but getting there at my usual glacial speed.

          Those figures are very well painted.

          Love the aircraft too.

            Those figures are great mate better than I can imagine in 35th. The aircraft looks good as well.

              Great work Jim. You've achieved really nice shading on the uniforms.

                  Looking good Jim. Your figures are brilliantly painted in my opinion

                    Excellent back story to your build Jim and the model is looking really nice. Those figures are so detailed, good luck with their painting.
