Halinski Hurricane

I just finished building this model a few days ago. It is an older model (no separate control surfaces) but it has a very nice cockpit and absolutely wonderful print. For the most part it is a pleasant build but the model does present some challenges. Any visible problems are not due to mistakes in the kit but rather my lack of experience and sometimes late night confusion I would recommend this model only to experienced builders.

Thank you Leif. I have never received a better compliment

You are absolutely right about the troublesome joint: it was tough and it did take a lot of dry-fitting, delicate sanding and careful glue application in stages. Canopy fairing and the front part of wing roots were also a challenge.

The weathering is definetely first-class; one of the best I have ever seen.

Thank you again,
Pawel
