So now available are inner and outer cannon shrouds as seen in the first picture. I have not gotten the springs yet but will be available as in the parts list if anyone orders from "Kirk"..You can also see the gun blisters on the wing. These are prototypes. When I chart tape off panels will make sure they are correct. The production versions will probably have a small flange like full size.
The teardrop blister over the cowl valve covers is printed to match the curvature of the cowl. Will again size this up to make sure looks correct before production versions which will also probably have a small flange.

Looking great Jeff! I love the "Be Damn Sure" comment reference rib 8! Nice touch!

As leading edge of tail feathers are sheet metal on full size I am building up leading edge with primer to simulate. Also shot some primer on inboard wings to look for any defects I need to fix

roydefiant

So now a hard edge where metal ended. After rib stitching, light primer coat then color coat the edge will soften

roydefiant

cannons mounted left wing with laser level to get straight.

starting to look mean with all the cannons mounted

More body putty then primer on fuse, looks very smooth now. Also built up leading edge on horizontal stab with primer to simulate the underlying metal sheeting there.

I made up a light kit from electrodynamics. No heat from their LED's These are pictures of the landing light. Trapezoid 3D printed the holder and octopus screen that holds the lens in. The lens is from I fly tallies. One picture obviously is with landing light on. The other is to show what it looks like in the landing light well in leading edge of wing. Just awesome like the real thing

Fitting exhausts, a little more fill to do before painting. Also now have the sound system working. 2 four inch speakers mounted in radiator , one facing forward the other backwards. Linked to throttle with start up and shut down noises of rolls royce merlin. Also has hispano cannon noises. Awesome sound system from modelsoundsinc

roydefiant

rudder trim tab and tail light in place. Now just need to find a domed lens cover tp put over LED

Looks great Roy!

Back on now the holidays are over. First picture shows blisters over the valve covers. 2nd picture shows the conduit taking air in from the oil cooler scoop into the airframe. The 3rd picture shows the hole the conduit will bring air into where the speed controller will be mounted. The 4th picture shows the 6V fan that will help draw cold air in thru the conduit to blow over the speed controller to keep it cool.

I'm not sure what happened to this thread - are the plans available for this 1/4 scale Hurricane? Thank you

Both prototypes are nearing completion. Plans will be available upon successful flight of the prototype. Thanks

Excellent - Thank you Jeff - what's the best way to keep track of when the plans will be available? Just monitor this thread or the web site?

That or check RCSB where I am doing updates. Otherwise monitor mnbigbirds.com
I still hope to get mine in the air this fall. Hopefully plans by winter.

This all sounds good but I don't have a 3D printer so will all of the components be available? Any kit cutters cutting it yet? I really like this plane so I hope they do a good job making it available.
