I really like your Hurricane cockpits. I wish I had the eyes and steady hand to attempt that - much better looking than 'out of the box'.
All I managed was the wing and tail touch-ups.

Thanks Pete,

I am glad you like it :pint:
Cabins need touch up badly. But it is a painfull job :) you're right. Not finished at all my models. :embarrass: Namely greenhouses of multi crew planes cry for it :)
