The Hurricane

The cockpit with the seat, showing signs of wear 

The frame, built of plastic rod an fishing wire 

The other side, also showing the radio rack 

It's not as straight as it should be, but it was my first effort of scratchbuilding 

 

The sidepanels cut away and the panel fasteners already put in place 

close up of the cockpit with some added detail 

The final result 

Close up, showing the radio and rack and the coolant pipe. Never heard of silvering 😉 

Gunbay, coolant pipe and controlwires running to the tail.  

Various pipelines and insulated cooling pipe. Look at the cat, the same as on the real door in Hendon! 

Even in the tail an inspection hatch was opened 

The engine and the cowling attachments 

Radio and rack and various pipes and chart casket attached to the seat 

 

 

My wife helped me with the kit and converted the sitting pilot to a standing figure, to leave the view on the cockpit unrestricted 

No time for a wash 😉 

In Hendon, I once found this door: the same picture as in the kit!
