WARNING - CONTAINS NUDITY!


Recommended Posts

Got a couple of the new mould Airfix 1/48 Hurricane's in The Works sale recently and decided to do something "unusual" with one of them.

I decided to finish them "au naturel" as if they hadn't been painted, to show the materials used.

The main metal areas are Alclad Duraluminum, fabric areas are Vlaajo white with a couple of drops of brown in it to represent undoped linen. Wheelbays and landing gear are Vallejo Aluminium.

I hope I've got all this right, I'm sure someone will be along to correct me if not :doh:

I don't care if you haven't got it right or not - I just think that looks lovely. A really clever and unusual way to show of the Hurricane.

NICE.

I'm on with the Sea Hurri at the mo. How did you find the wing/fuselage fitment?

I like it a lot. A clever concept.

Beautifully built and painted; it makes a really nice display piece.

That's come out well, glad I told you about the 'doghouse' being  ply.

 

The panels under the cockpit are metal, but the ones behind this  are fabric.  (hence the stringer lines)

 

I'm not sure what the escape hatch is made of,   I suspect plywood,  as it's fabric covered as well.

 

Note scuffs on edges by swastika,   but chipped paint to metal on the catches (?)

The escape hatch off Ian Gleed's  LK-A  if you are curious.

detail  comments aside,  

an excellent execution of an interesting idea for a model   :goodjob:

Thanks Troy, wasn't sure about those couple of panels, but they appeared to have rivet/bolt heads so I assumed they were metal.....

Also wasn't sure about the hatch, but went with metal purely for durability.
