So I had to revisit the tail wheel, between being broken a few times and the conventional cement was just not strong enough I took a suggestion from my dad, of using an epoxy glue designed for steel. And it worked! No painting required as well! I then used this to repair the main gear. And...

True, and a fair number of fighters as well. The old pre-conception was the Spit engaged the fighter escort and the hurri took on the bombers has since been disproved

Next up, under carriage Re-attaching the strut and cover for the main gear was pretty straight forward; the ail wheel was a different story, the bracket that holds the wheel had been broken into two parts (not counting the wheel) But after employing a similar technique I was able to get one...

So the front "wall" of the gun emplacement was breaking off, so rather than breaking the wing open it was fixed with the "wedge principle" I ran a bit of glue down the joints and did this Screwdriver worked quite well :) I then employed the same tactic to re-attach the gun housing to the...

THanks Zathros, one of the last planes I built (if memory serves) and always loved the Hurricane, it "got stuck in and got the job done", none of the "glory hunting" spitfire nonsense :) Some I may not be able to fix, the glue runs from my dad would need painting over, but I think that would...

And she's getting there... I had to gently remove (read break off) the tailplane to re-attach the elevator, since there's a pin that sits is held by the tailplane to facilitate movement. Moving onto the port gun bay

Of course! It's a Hurricane! Workhorse of the RAF! ;)

So, after a wash, with a wet paint brush (the amount of dust was scary) here's the hurri Damage report: Starboard elevator detached. Tail wheel broken off. Both main landing gear broken. Port gun mounts loose. Glue runs where my Dad tried to fix it Luckily I have all the pieces!

So after a visit with my parents and discovered my old Airfix 1:48 Hawker Hurricane Mk1. I genuinley can't recall when I built it, but a safe guess is at least 20 to 25 years ago. Here she is in her current state. When you consider it she hasn't aged too badly...

definitely keeping you TIE'd up....

Always loved the camel, watching this with interest! And yes, looks pretty daunting if you haven't built models before....

No Klingons, someone much, much worse....

No go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

But I don't like SPAM!!!

Ah. But then I lose the continuity of the time line, creating a rupture in the time-model continuum which could cause irreparable damage to the model world! (i.e. Where's the Enterprise F to I models?)

I'll reveal the technique during my lighting thread ;)

And here they all are :) (I don't count the JJ verse) USS Enterprise NX-01 USS Enterprise NCC 1701 (No bloody A, B, C) USS Enterprise NCC 1701-A (Exactly the same as the refit, exterior anyway ;)) USS Enterprise NCC 1701-B USS Enterprise NCC 1701-C USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D...

And she bumped into an old friend...

And now light! Underside, bow section showing the deflector Rear of the saucer and impulse engines

And, in the darkness, light was found... But first, some nice shots of the USS Enterprise E powered down.
