Fernando's Arma Hobby 1/72 Hurricane Mk.1
Evening all, Even though I haven’t updated this in the last month, the build continues at a snail’s pace… Lost the mojo after getting back at work and this heat of the last weeks also takes a number at the mojo especially after work and running, but a small bit each day is still progress Now I...- Fernando N

Having some overtime money to spend, I got me these from Spain. Read a great review about it when it came out with a Jap magazine awile back and hopefully they build as their Star Wars line (which was perfect) and a couple of brushes to complete the collection at the bench: Too bad no missiles...- Fernando N

Fernando's Arma Hobby 1/72 Hurricane Mk.1
Evening everyone, First thing when starting was to test if the fuselage and wings gave the anticipated fit and they did, being so crisply moulded they had to be a perfect fit or close:hungry: Eagerly started building up the interior and wheel well, with the latter having some flash on top...- Fernando N

Evening all, Got the last bits on her ready for painting, good thing to have the masks included for all that glass:tongue-out3: The lower canopy and the gunners skylight had the most fit issues, being a tad too big and with a very small contact area in the fuselage for the glue to stick on...- Fernando N

A little surprise yesterday postie dropped this little Death Star off: The kit is inside, a mini Y-wing and when completed it can stand on top of the DS: Yeah Star Wars fan for sure and for €12,50 from Hong Kong still pretty cheap for a Bandai kit:nerd:- Fernando N

Evening everyone, Been a busy boy last week and in all my jazz I forgot to post an update…:rolling: Got all the Hataka colours on and found them a bit too dark, it matches some of the ref I got but the gut feeling says otherwise, maybe I’ve seen too much of the old stuff at the NMM...- Fernando N
