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

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.

Looks good Lou.

Fuselage has been shaped. Everything else cut out.

Pictures to follow.

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.

Starting to apply the decals.

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

Wonderful finish on the Ouragan. The decals really worked out well.

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.
