Just discovered a terrible error in my first Vought Corsair. I glued the vertical fin on backwards. Will have to sort that out. I found out by comparing old 2011 photos to the current Corsair I am building with Rick.

Just about to start an ID+ Hawker Hurricane in 1/72 scale. I fear any bigger scale would be problematic for me to simulate the fabric covered rear fuselage. The RCAF No 1 Squadron took part in the Battle of Britain and that will be my colour scheme.

Wings and fuselage are glued and rough sanded. Filets have been added and puttied.

This is my first Hurricane. I have always been afraid of making one because of the fabric rear fuselage ribbing. I decided to ignore that feature and leave the area smooth. U am using the SMM USN ID drawing & plan.

Moving along. I had a slightly different cam pattern until I realized that I had two aircraft profiles. I painted while looking at one and somewhere I switch over to the other. It made for a weird cam pattern. All fixed now.
