My first ever Guillows build, finished about a year ago. Flew like a brick, but I'm proiud of it.

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

...and here's the rudder. This is pretty much perfect.

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!

Everyone seems to find their Hurricanes to be tail-heavy so I thought there'd be no harm carving these more accurate exhausts

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.

Since I'll need blue tissue paper for the Cherokee anyway I think I'll make this one up as G-AMAU. Alternately I could make it as G-AFKX, a Hawker testbed painted silver.

and so begins model number 2. Going to build this up as practise before tissuing the Cherokee.
