Hawker Hurricane Mk IIc by Javlin - Fly Models - 1/32 - PLASTIC

I was over in Mobile at my LHS now HobbyTown and they had this kit 1/2 price @$42 .I know the kit has failings it seems but it really does not look that bad in the box and with Quintas it will be a big improvement on the pit.I already see some small thin wire on the joystick is in order the box cover of the a/c seems to my liking.I will try to take a few more pics as I build I am terrible at that hence the lack of builds from me being showcased🤨

Now the the kit has put me through some challenges for sure one the plastic seems brittle the control stick broke into four pieces!I managed to make a new handle from scratch a tad small but it's going to have to do third attempt.The instructions well when they show part placement go look a couple steps ahead to be sure how they have it positioned.I had to unglue some parts to just slide the triangle underneath the control arms coming off the stick :default_wallbash: The copit is what I believe is the hardest part of the build and you will see the stick broke again

Alright got the main components of the copit done and about to spray the primer then the RAF GreenGrey.I have the Quinta's kit for the inside and will use the etch as an outline to plastic card to which the Quinta's will be located seeing most of these are all black..I am thinking by the beginning of next week I should be pass the pit and onto the rest of the main assembly....the easy part :unsure:

The pit is complete and the fuselage has been buttoned up it came out better than what was being perceived in my mine earlier this week.The Quintas helped quite a bit even though the IP pic sucks it was light years over the PE/film supplied.I did the seat belts a tad wrong but I liked the way they float so left will enough alone.
