Well
after having warm fuzzies about my first new tool, I am am losing the
glow, especially after building the Hurricane last weekend.
I'm building wheels up, and Airfix supply two sets of doors, sweet so in they go, and..
so filled with card and then join the wings but....
get this gap, due to..
the undercarriage leg mount, so sliced off and gap is gone.
Good now attach wings and we have wing root gaps..
more card to fill, also we have steps..
I thinned the wing as much as I dared before, they were a lot worse.
Oh well more fill and sanding, so I attached the intake halves..
filled the two mounting holes in them and painted.
Hmm I'm definitely plodding along with this one, and am disappointed with it, I think I had high hopes due to the reviews of it. I might have to dive in to "The Stash" and get old an old Airfix kit....

The Airfix 1:72 Spitfire Mk I and Mk I/II new tools are the ones to get Jim. They fit nicely and are worthy successors to the old Mk I kit, which is a goody too...
I was disappointed with the Hawk too.
cheers
Andrew
