Nice progress Jim 😊

Those figures are amazing 🤩

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.

Jim,
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.

[Jim R]

Well this has really be dragging along. Partly due to lack of time but also due to lack of mojo. But it is now complete. A very nice kit although the decals are very poor - thick and very glossy.
Just a taster. More photos in the completed section.



Thanks to Paul for setting up the GB and also to all those who have kindly commented.
