The spinner also looks pointier than usual. Some weirdness there.
Its the Watts two bladed fixed pitch prop. Being fixed pitch, unlike the later De Havilland twin pitch and Rotol constant speed props, there is no pitch change mechanism inside the spinner so it is shorter and pointier.dr_gn said:
If you've got any interior pics I'd be interested to see them.
I can get some or nip to the club and photograph a couple. They all vary slightly according to what instrumentation they have fitted. but inside the cockpit is mostly pale grey/the instrument binnacle will be matt black, straps may be grey or black, impact absorbent seat cushion usually blue.

Calling this one finished. It looks OK I guess, but the truth is I lost interest in it half way through. It's OOB apart from the CMK wheels, Eduard belts, and the usual small additions like scratchbuilt gunsights, pitot tube, aerial/rudder wires, radiator duct stays and brake/air pipes. Depicted in almost new condition (obviously at that time it had never seen combat in WW2). ETA, and the decals are RedFirecracker/Xtradecal. ETAA and the thinned wing edges, modified wing surfaces and scribed the missing panel lines. In fact it's anything but OOB...
Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 L1599, "B" Flight, 56 Sqdn., North Weald, 1938.
With my other early camo RAF types: Spitfire Mk1a and Defiant Mk.1
And with my other two new tool Airfix kits: Gladiator Mk.1 and Bf109 E4

Excellent work
Ta very much!johnS2000 said:
Any chance of a pointer to your 109 build ?
Sure, but it ain't pretty:http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
To be fair it's probably the best overall result of the three Airfix new tools I've built, and I believe some of the kit errors - I might have mentioned in passing - have now been corrected.
