Sorry guys I misunderstood the question on the gun barrels. Those are not the ones that will be out like that, those are the inset guns just sticking out at the time of picture, as was looking at making them accessible via a hatch in the wing. There will be some variant guns that can be attached if wanting one of the other model Hurricanes.

I have already started pouring some of the parts. I will get more pictures up here soon of the completed plane. The plane will be very easy to assemble, with minimum clean up or prep on the parts, as I check the fit of every part before I ship out anything. Price range should be around 275 a plane. Anyone who is interested in one can PM me and let me know.

Have a little clean up to do before pouring all the molds, have to still remake canopy as this is a rough mock up. I have already made some of the molds, but it is almost all ready to be molded, after do some more detailing . Any gaps you see on the pics is because I am holding it together with the tape, and not screws for these pics.

This is looking really good, Aracula :D Very, very tempting. I've enjoyed your previous armor kits and this looks like it will be even better!

I was using photo bucket to put my pictures on here, and did not realize they consider it 3rd party hosting, and want a 400.00 yearly subscription for that. Anyhow does anyone know another place to put pictures at to then put on here? Or is there a way to just upload my pictures right to this site if it is allowed?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Had to repost the pics, above. I am getting close now on this project, I am adding more detail and cleaning it up more before molding it all out. Will keep you updated.

More pics coming soon, stay tuned as this project is about to come to fruition.


More pics of the HE 162, and a Typhoon also coming soon. Then once those two planes are done, I am going back to armor awhile.
