Now you're talking. One of my favorite and I have one in 1/144 scale. I know I might have asked before but why 1/60?

Its a bit bigger than 1/72 . Not as big as 1/48. There's no decal sets etc available so it presents a bit of a challenge.

Still haven't decided what to finish her as.

There is decal set  by Richard J Caruana  ( that's in the picture ) If you search on his name you will find them

Cheers

My decals were home made also. I chose a simple scheme but was not able to make the small lettering on the fin nor the sign name on the side.

Nice going. I see you opened up your intake. Are you doing the same for the exhaust?

Where the Ouragan is at.

I have an idea for the jet pipe which I have done an experiment on. Seems to work.

The Ouragan just needs the stabiliser stuck , rudder filled after stabiliser. Bit of quality control on finish.

Decals printed.

Cheers

Starting to apply the decals.

Touch up required around white areas . There is a red lightning bolt still to come for each wing tank.

I found a set of the same ones in 1/48 from my late brothers stuff. My rounders may be slightly large compared with them. Everything else seems to be OK.

I'm Pretty happy with it.

Tailpipe has been added . Bit of quality control and its now complete.

Lou, I mark the start and end point of the gun troughs and use a small needle file on compress the trough ( I use balsa for fuselage). The point is the towards the gun barrel.

I must do some test gun port next time in the shop. The Ouragan turned out great and as I said on the cook-up, the best 1st Generation Jet so far.

An "Ouragan"....once again I learned about an aircraft i'd not heard of. Looks very nicely done. The aircraft does have nice lines to it.

What font did you use on your number 43. I have USAF stencil but it prints normal numbers.

Lou,
Follow this link and look for decal archive. The Ouragan is in there. Unfortunately there is a gap in the middle .

Under make your own decals there is sheets for Meteor F8 , FAA Phantoms and Ki - 45
