Is the value of the item(s) worth the shipping, or is the shipping cost extortionate. I didn’t do too badly on the aftermarket parts for my Wellington build (about $15 CAD) to bring that order up from Australia. However when I first went looking for decals for my Hurricane, it would have cost me $15 to ship a $10 envelope of decals from the UK (uh, that was a NOPE). For what it’s worth, have a look at Sunward hobbies, they have a $60 (CAD) threshold to qualify for free shipping for almost anywhere in Canada or the US. (Not associated with Sunward, just plugging a local business 😜) Andy I've completed a couple of orders with Angelo at Sunward and found them to be a great modeling resource and would also recommend them as well.

So far so good in the recovery, I’m off the pain meds, except the odd topical, as all the muscles in my shoulder are taking turns twisting themselves into knots.

realworkingsailor Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share #71 Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone! It's update time (finally!)! Last Monday's appointment went well, all the staples came out, and I was ordered to begin moving my arm again, so the sling came off too. Things are slowly improving and my range of motion is steadily being restored. I'm still restricted from lifting things for another few weeks, but I'm happy to be able to do most things for myself again. I've also returned to the workbench and have some progress to share with you as well! I've spent the last few days lettering up my Hurricane. As I referenced before, based on photographic evidence, V7203 (LE T) was one of a small number of late delivered fabric winged Hurricanes, so it seems appropriate to use the marking supplied in the Xtradecal set for this aircraft. I was still able to use the technical stencils from the Airfix supplied decal sheet, as these were not part of the Xtradecal set. Slightly differing from contemporary bombers, the squadron lettering is presented in the same order on both sides of the aircraft, LE T on both sides, where the bombers where more mirrored (on my Wellington one side was AA R and the other side R AA). Nicely included was the 242 (Canadian) Squadron nose art of good ol' Adolph getting the Boot! The registration number was not included in the decal set, I'm assuming at the time it was developed, it was not known. As I mentioned before, the discussion on Britmodeller showed that LE T bore the registration number V7203. I made this decal by playing around with fonts and type sizing in a word processing program, before printing on blank decal paper with my laser printer. Finally, the underside roundels came from the Airfix supplied sheet. I'm very pleased with how things have turned out, next steps include attaching the landing gear before sealing everything. Eagle eyed viewers may have noticed the missing antenna masts. They became inadvertently detached during the pause in construction, but they are in a safe location and will be reattached soon. It feels good to be back at the workbench, once again, thanks to everyone for all your kind words of support and encouragement.

They still have a fine oil painting on the wall in the entrance of the school of him on patrol in a Hurricane.

realworkingsailor Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share #82 Posted February 4, 2023 Thanks again, everyone, for your kind comments, likes and continued support! A small update this morning, as I inch towards the approaching finish line (although, not too much inching left). The landing gear is now attached! It's nice to see her standing on her own three (?) feet! A few of the other more fragile appurtenances have also been (re)attached. The arial masts are repaired and standing tall, as well as the pitot tube. I've left off the prop and spinner for now, as the open nose, along with my sanded pencil (HB lead) makes a great holder for painting. There only remains to add a coat of Dulcote to seal everything, then add the landing lights and finally the prop. I will probably add a little pastel weathering in some key areas, to make it look like she's seen some service, but not to the point of looking horribly beat up!

realworkingsailor Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share #84 Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Thank you all for the kind remarks and likes! Well, I think it's time to call this one done... hooray! I wanted to keep the weathering light, just enough to suggest use. It was accomplished using Pan Pastel grime and soot colours and a soft applicator sponge in key areas. Oh, yeah, although the prototype appears to have a black spinner, I decided to paint mine red, mostly because I like the effect. I think I did pretty well by the prototype! (Although my camouflage bands run in the opposite direction) Overall this has been an enjoyable build, and I would highly recommend the kit. Airfix has done a great job, and at a really affordable price point ($17.50 CAD), it's hard to say no. There's not too many crazy small parts, so even at 1/72 it should be manageable for most. I have my next build already lined up, so stay tuned for more fun.

AJohnson Posted February 5, 2023 Share #88 Posted February 5, 2023 Andy that is a cracking looking build. The opposite camouflage pattern I will keep quiet about just in case you get your chainsaw out and knock me out of my “squeaky” tree. The RAF did have a camouflage pattern “A” & “B” depending on what serial number was of the aircraft. I think it was camouflage pattern “A” for even numbered aircraft and “B” for odd numbers. Think that fell into disuse from 42 onwards.
