stevej60 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Hi folk,s an off camera build over the last few week's has been Airfix's new tool Hurricane finished in the colour's of 17 Squadron flown by P/O Steven's during the Battle of Britain.The kit has been well covered here with one or two superb example's already posted,I added a break pipe;s to the u/c doors which I noted on the wealth of information available here on BM mainly down to Troy, also a mirror on the Glazing and weathered using Maskol then promptly missed off the characteristic staining underneath and on the u/c door's,Ah well! Hope you like. Very much a practice piece for another entry in the BoB GB. Edited July 27, 2015 by stevej60 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank,s Stix,It is a superb kit without any major vices,as I said a practice piece to see how it build,s there's a few thing's I will do differently for the BoB GB one including tinkering with that dark earth colour.

Ah ha. Thought that looked a bit nice! ( although your "old tool" one looks great too..) Thanks for that info on the u/c staining I may try that on my 1/72 Hurricane I'm finishing at the moment..
