Darby Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 One that's been going on twixt Sea Hurricane builds of late. Many are familiar with the kit so nothing further to add apart from beware of the fuselage stripes. I don't know if it was only me but I couldn't for the life of me get them to line up. Used a bit of spare white decal on the top of the fuselage but It's not perfect. Has the underside one split on me and that was after sealing in. Oh well. Whole thing brush painted with Xtracolor Sand and RLM02 with metallics Revell Aluminium and Steel. The prop was also Revell with a Tamiya clear orange coating. I did try a laminated effect on the other prop but it looked more like a mint humbug. Rigging was EZ line and had a few 'pingy' moments along the way especially when attaching to the upper strut so gave up trying to connect each line to the metal stubs. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 That's a little belter. I've harboured thoughts of getting one of these. I think you've just swayed my judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Despite your woes along the way I think it has turned out very nice, I am not familiar with the scale but any plane of that era are never big kits. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Darby...is that the Eduard 1/72nd scale kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks for the comments chaps. I actually forgot about this one even though it was only recent. There are things I would do differently should I do another one i.e. paint the stripes and do the rudder/elevator control wires before attaching the rudder. 1 hour ago, John D.C.
