Cookenbacher Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 They're looking great Tony - sounds like you'd recommend the Alley Cat metal wing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 These are looking very nice indeed. I received my wing the other day and the detail looks excellent. My only comments would be that the trailing edge looks a little thick, and there is no way to remove the flaps and have them positioned down.

tonyot Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Cheers lads, Here is my latest update,.......I`ve matt varnished the models,....given them a watercolour wash and overpainted the `H' markings on the Sea Hurri; The Sea Hurri; The Desert Hurri; I can get on with a bit of weathering and adding the small parts now, Cheers Tony 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The Sea Hurricane looks nice and dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Hiya Folks, Well the Sea Hurricane is finished and there are some more pics here; http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235002106-172nd-metal-winged-hurricane-mkiusing-the-new-alley-cat-resin-conversion-set/ However,.....the 73 Sqn Hurricane had a last minute varnish disaster which left the left wing looking as if it had been whitewashed! So it is currently being re painted and should follow in a few more day! All the best Tony Edited June 17, 2016 by tonyot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Looking at the photo of Hurricane 2 X, have you been able to determine the colour scheme it wears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hiya Chris, Yes it wears the Temperate Sea Scheme,....but on the film it looks darker,.....either due to the film itself of the EDSG in particular was a bit darker and more like the British equivalent before it faded. I have a feeling that the majority of the Sea Hurri`s on the film were painted using US paints where the EDSG was often quite lighter,....as seen on my model.

cngaero Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I thought you'd stumbled across an unusual scheme of DG and Dark Mediterranean Blue. The aircraft in the background seems to be in "normal" TSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I thought you'd stumbled across an unusual scheme of DG and Dark Mediterranean Blue. The aircraft in the background seems to be in "normal" TSS. I know what you mean Chris,.......it could even be Dk Green and a dark blue grey ,....... when the RCAF reconditioned the Sea Hurri`s of the MSFU after they arrived in Halifax, NS aboard the CAM Ships they were refinished in all sorts of `strange' colours purporting to be loosely interpreted as TSS apparently,....... so I would not be surprised iF Dk. Green was used on 2-X. As you say,.....aircraft behind it appear in more standard TSS colours. All the best, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I think I might do one in some "odd" colours, it would certainly stand out. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
