daniele0865 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Tony, it's great! It's amazing how you can get such results brush painting only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I am always amazed how some guys get better results with brush painting than I get by using an airbrush! Very nice Hurri and great color scheme - I like it! Cheers, Michael 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks again everybody, Glad you like the scheme and the brushwork, the spinner is a bit raggedy but the original doesn`t look exactly straight either. I hate painting rings onto spinners. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 ...I hate painting rings onto spinners. Cheers Tony Amen to that! Yours might look a bit wobbly to you. it looks faultless to me Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Lovely looking Hurricane there Tony , top notch as as allways I am working on the Revell 32nd scale kit with all the Grey Matters add ons at the moment Your model has really inspired me to crack on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Cheers again lads, I really appreciate your kind words. Keith- Good luck with the Revell/GMR model,......just remember to cut slightly out from the cut lines and then test fit the nose then sand the model down gradually until it fits. That way you`ll achieve a nice clean join hopefully. The updates from GMR really do help lift the model up into the 21st Century, ....but as soon as you`ve finished a modern all singing and all dancing 32nd scale Hurrii will turn up,..you mark my words,...it usually happens,...just ask Woody! All the best, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Tony, That is one stunning model Hurricane! How well does this Airfix kit go together? Regards Dave Hiya Dave, thanks mate,......it goes together really well and the only part which needs any care is the area where the wing leading edges meet the nose,....but even this is comparatively easy........it is a beautiful kit. If you are opening up the gun bays then just follow the instructions but some of the guns appear to be mis numbered so I just lined up the ejector ring chute with the ejector holes moulded into the underside of the wing. Also.....it is easier to insert the landing lights into place before the wing halves are joined as otherwise they don`t fit and they are a struggle to get in afterwards,....guess how I know that!
