44g - is that good or bad? Bad I'm guessing. Took a lot of weight to balance it out.

Here are the exhausts I made in situ. Left the undercarriage off but the radiator was needed or it just wouldn't look right.

All covered (not the tidyest of jobs) and essentially finished, just decals left but I might try a test flight before then

Fuselage all done bar the covering. The painted nose gives an idea of the eventual colour.

The wing after drying off. I had to replace the centre section because of a small tear so I did it in two sections leaving the centre open as it was much easier that way.

Wing tissued - roughly the third attempt - and sprayed with water. Hope tissueing gets easier with experience, I was just about fit to pack in after try number two!

Canopy frame using my tried and trusted "can't be bothered painting the fiddly bits so just use strips of electrical tape" method. Rather helpful in this case that I'm making a blue Hurricane. I do have to wonder whether Guillow's are all that familiar with the front of a Hurricane canopy though.
