AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Amazing Erwin. I actually found some of these Guillow's kits in a hobby shop the other week Good start.
Erwin Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Covered it all with 1,5 mm balsasheet. The rim and tips will be sanded round after the glue has set. Edited July 2, 2008 by Erwin
Tizzy Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 The nickname wooden wonder normally applies to the Mosquito.On this site the name applies to one of Erwin's balsa models.Looking good so far.
Erwin Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 Do you stop to sleep Erwin? Nice work sir. Did this at work yesterday during my guardduty.
Erwin Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Joined the fuselage and wing.And added the VAC nose... Dylan(theRabbit)is kindly sending me the decals from the Airfix 24 th Hurricane to finish it in the 85 Sqn plane flown by Sqn Ldr Peter Townsend. Edited July 9, 2008 by Erwin
Erwin Posted July 9, 2008 Author Posted July 9, 2008 Made the tailsection from 3 mm plasticsheet... Come closer...
Erwin Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 Ready for painting. I first coated it with grey to see where I needed to do some more filling. Sanded it all smooth again. Before you all jump into your pens. I know the exhausts are not correct. But they were the only once I had that come close to 1/28 th scale.

Erwin my friend, Firstly, youre doing a brilliant job on this wooden wonder Ive not seen anything like it before Secondly, its your model, and if those stubs are all youve got to hand then stuff the Rivet Counters, just ignore them Bex

Those " stubs" are from the 1/32 nd Revell Typhoon kit. I will also use the LG and doors from that kit.
dylan the rabbit Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Great work there Erwin. I've got a confession to make. I still haven't posted the decals yet. Our little one's been keeping us awake at night for the last week, so I'm like a zombie at the moment and am forgetting tons of things. I'll get them in the post tomorrow. Promise. Nick
CPNGROATS Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Erwin: That's looking like a proper Hurricane..! Nice paint application...! Cheers, ggc
