Finish won't be nearly as good as Aleksander's, but here's how I did the ejection chutes.
I found a drawing online and blew it up to size I needed on Publisher. I cut out the printout and taped it over the corresponding panel. Then I ran a brand new blade over the paper lines. After that I took off the template and completed the cuts. Took a while, but I enjoyed it.
I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.
Have fun.
Pretty danged-good idea there, Cdn Colin! Might have to use that one myself one of these years....

Cool I have that one in the stash, I'll break it out and give it a look, I might shoot you a PM and see about getting a set of those templates
Thanks for the kind words, all. I can make the file I used available IF I can figure out the PM thing.
Cdn Colin - I should say, you've done your ejector chutes much better than I did!
I'm looking forward to see another (it means yours' :)) great Hurricane on FSM forum!
Here's a few pictures to finish things up.
Nice work, Colin. Jerry, beware!
Very nice build, indeed! Congratulations!
How did you cope with decals? I had a problem with silvering.
Lots of decal set, in many coats. I used the Model Master stuff (it smells like vinegar). I left it to soak for 3 minutes at a time and used a Q-tip as a squeegie to push them down. The port side looks better than the starboard. I also took the photos from an angle that reduced the silver effect.
Nice tip/technique. Got that kit in the stash along with the Classic Airframe Mk1, thought about merging them together......that is until I saw the CA is fabric wing.
Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom. Peace be with you.
