Hola @chucho_quiroz, gracias!
I used two PE sets for this – both are Eduard. The seat belts (Sutton harness) was included in the kit and is just fine!
Beautiful cockpit! I would go nuts trying to fit all that pe.
The cockpit alone, is a masterpiece!!! That’s crazy
Small update today – been distracted by nice weather, and some other projects.
The radiator scoop has been re-scribed and re-riveted. Not perfect, but better than smooth! There are evidently several different radiator panel/rivet layouts for these early Hurricanes, and none matched the kit’s pattern. Seemed like the best option was to rely on images of Gloster-made early Mk I radiators. 
First time using a riveter tool. Pretty hair-raising – you get one shot! I did practice before I tried the tool on the actual kit, but now my Revellogram 1/48 P-40B Tigershark has thousands of extra rivets, and is officially a paint/test mule. 
The fuselage halves went together fairly well, with no gaps, but with some slight misalignment (hence the primer guide-coats). Some sanding, minor filling, and re-scribing will be needed, but nothing terrible. Lower wing fit was excellent.
And finally got the guns ready to be installed. I added some pneumatic lines and actuators for the triggers, but they are pretty much invisible; also, I have a few too many coats of paint and varnish on the guns, and they’ve got a little melty-looking. But I keep reminding myself that at less than 1" wide, it looks fine to the Mk.I eyeball – and I’m more than ready to be done with this little “kit within a kit.”.
The next tricky part will be gluing the guns assembly to the underside of the top wing half. Once the top wing is cemented to the bottom, there’ll be no way to fix it if the gun bay pops loose inside there.

You may want to add some styrene support to each side of the box inside the wing to give added surface for attaching the P/E. It looks so good that it would be a travesty if it came loose later.
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. Thanks! I also grabbed some epoxy at the LHS today – might use some of that, plus styrene strucure, to build some fillets to hold it in place.
The solution I came up with was to sandwich the gun bay within the wing. There really isn’t much room in there to begin with – one corner of the gun bay actually contacts the bottom wing, and required some careful filing.
To make sure it’ll be 100% secure in place, I used some styrene blocks to hold it in the correct position while test-fitting, and then superglued it in place. Then I covered the shell ejection ports with some styrene to prevent any squeeze-out, laid a thin pillow of soft Apoxie Sculpt on the lower wing for the gun bay to nestle into.
I pressed it into place without needing too much force, but it quickly became obvious that I would not be pulling it back apart again. So I just started wicking cement into the wing join and used tape to “clamp” things. To close the top fuselage seam, it needed a tiny amount of up-pressure on the wingtip – not enough to perceptibly change the dihedral.
That extra bit of styrene inside the gun area (where the barrels would protrude) is just to add strength – I wasn’t able to put cement on any of the internal locator pins or contact points, so a little extra strength will make me feel better.

Good day, i like your work on the Hurricane…¡ It’s amazing to my eyes, i have the Hasewaga kit, could you tell me what photetch set did you use for the wheeel bays? Apreciated your answer Saludos desde Yucatán México
Hola @chucho_quiroz, muchas gracias 
This Edward detail set includes the wheel bay details:
But I don’t know if this set will fit the Hasegwa kit. If you look on Scalemates you may find an option just for your kit:
