Barneydhc82 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 A few photos of the next project now underway. The Hasegawa 1/48 Hurricane MkIIC has been modified to show as a Canadian MkXIIB used at Boundary Bay, BC by 133 Sqn RCAF. The shell ejector chutes have been filled in with .040" plastic card, the spare wing leading edge section drilled out for 4 .303 machine guns and the additional 2 guns added outboard of the landing lights. New ejector chutes have yet to be opened up. Some panel lines have been filled in and others scribed in place. Kevin sent out his new Prop and engine face as well as the new seat and armour plate. I've also added exhausts and elevators from Ultracast. (If you want fast service and a terrific product, see Ultracast). Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barneydhc82 Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Thanks for the comments guys...that kit is very well detailed but I just had to add the resin to change the Mk and do something different. Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 looks good Barney, and that pit does look great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-40Ace Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Nice job, Barney! Cockpit looks awesome! :huh: Ace Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 The Hurricane is now ready for the paint booth...if it ever warms up out here in Lotus Land. The fit has been very good and the Ultracast goodies popped right into place. I've filled in the shell ejector ports, added new .303 machinegun ports and rescribed the topside of the wing.

Barneydhc82 Posted January 15, 2005 Author Share Posted January 15, 2005 The prop is particularly nice...detail is perfect and the holes for the blades are deep enough and accurate enough that no jig is required to get a perfect alignment. What more could you ask for Barney Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D_IcarUS_ Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Sweet so far. Love the cockpit!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Between working on the "Alley Cat" and the Hurricane, I've managed a few more bits of progress on both. The Hurricane, painted and decalled and Oh S#$%...the masking tape pulled away a small piece of the cockpit forward edge...and it has disappeared. This 12 gun aircraft was a "presentation" aircraft flown on home defence against Fire Balloons, by 133 Sqn RCAF and was based at Boundary Bay, BC. Can't see the serial Numbers...there weren't any shown because the RCAF ordered all serials over-sprayed for secrecy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Pic #2: I still have lots of detail work to do here inlcuding painting the engine front and prop governor...there will be no spinner on this aircraft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneydhc82 Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 Pic ##: The underside still needs a bit of work...I did open the radiator door as well as all those D!@#$%^ shell chutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
