She looks good and the six 0.5" barrels make her look different as well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The second spit is done.  Here's a pic of both together.  I have to say I feel a little jilted.  These hasegawa kits are way too easy.

Stunning, of course.
Now, where are the "real" pictures?

(My eyes aren't so sharp anymore.  I think I need some more pics please).

Is it?  

for some one who is no fan of the spit, ive got 35 differnt spitfire kits in the stash (and thats not counting whats in the two Millenium BBMF sets ive got) and about a dozen built.  Got no were near as many Hurricanes in the stash  but im working on it  ;)   Mind u that Marine spit has given me a few ideas...........will have to ponder on them at work tomorrow.

Well you've goy your US built Hurricane so do a Spit to go with it.

Looked at the Omega Hercules Hurricane yesterday - bit pricy but I may be tempted - to my mind it looks better with the radial, and that's heresy to me normally !

U read my mind Chris.  :P

Ive looked at that hurricane kit as well...but cany quite come to terms with paying nearly 30 quid for a 72nd scale hurricane.

30 quid is pricey. I'm wondering if you could great a Hercules engine on to it from a Halifax or Beaufighter kit?? If not, I'll have to get one. That beastie is screaming FAA carrier based machine at me.
