| How funny, I started my 500 series Hurricane last night. If I get anywhere close to covering this flawless, I'll be lucky! Where do you get this tissue? I was going to use the supplied white, and paint with acrylic. But I like the translucent effect of plain tissue. |

| Very nicely done! |

| It goes to show that even the smaller kits with time and effort can yield a beautiful final product. Nicely done, Chris. |

| Beautiful job, great finish. |

| Thanks chaps :-) It took me nearly 7 weeks to complete, although it seemed an inordinate amount of that time was spent figuring out how to do the fairings and manufacture my own markings. James, the tissue I use is just plain old Esaki tissue, doped. I got mine from SAMS Models here in the UK. |

| How is your Hurricane going James? Have you decided on which finish you are going to use? Will you be flying it when it's completed? |
| jgood | 02-Aug-07 21:30 |
| I haven't decided yet Chris. Probably Battle of Britain or like this one of yours, I really like the black. Unless you have any good suggestions... This one will be rubber powered, I'm not ready for another r/c one yet. :) |

| :( Did you hear this Hurricane (wearing a different paint scheme) went down at the Shoreham Airshow yesterday? Pilot killed, wreck completely burnt out.Very sad.Link to BBC news story. |

| Hey jgood, would you give me your e mail address again, I need to have an aircraft lising added. |

| Yes I did hear about that James. My wife told me about it first, and then it was in the paper this morning. A very sad incident all round :-( |

| CD, this is a very nice work, ¿how do you get the transparent colors? |
| cdwheatley | 25-Jan-08 17:32 |
| Thanks. The translucent effect you see here is simply the result of using black Esaki tissue to cover the model with, then sealing with dope. |
