Ok, so I started with Arma Hobby Hurricane. It requires some serious modifications of the wings, including removing machineguns, filling some panel lines and making new ones.

The clear parts in Hurricane were masked with out of the box set of masks. They didn't work well, what is visible on this picture ?

To be honest Armas Hurricane is a little tricky. There is a lot of work You need to do yourself (like filling some panel lines and making new ones) and it is easy to damage the model while doing it. The 3d printed parts are quite fragile too. Still it was a nice experience. Saddly, since more than a month both models are waiting for painting and I am wainting for my laziness to end 😉

Interesting combo 👍 Are you going to add the landing gear covers to the Spit?

Marcin Dudek
You are welcomef Robert 🙂. Thank You Łukasz. I am planing to do so. Is there anything wrong with them in this model?

Łukasz Gliński
As far as I recall they are simply missing 😉

Marcin Dudek
You have got me here, Łukasz 😉. I checked the parts once more and You are right, the covers are not included...

Huh... I suffered a small delay because of the carpet monster. I dropped one of the gun barrels and couldn't find nor replace it. Luckily after contacting the manufacturers customers support they agreed to send me free 3d print! Now I am able to continue my work.

Wow, what a customer service! 👍

Thank You mates! They declare on their website that in case if anything is lost or damaged by the buyer first part - plastic/clear frame, photoetched or decals (excluding lozegne decal sheets) is shipped free. Day after I wrote them a message their worker phoned me, informed that 3d print is ready and asked how I wish it to be shipped. I received the part two days after I contacted them!
