noelbarnes Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I love the impact larger scale models have and I have always loved the hurricane. So what better to do than to combine both. Here is Trumpeter's 1/24 Hurricane MKI with Techmod decals for an aircraft from 303 (Polish) Sqdn, RAF. 1940. 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Excellent result. Never made anything from Trumpeter, what are they like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That is a lovely looking Hurricane! You have done a great job on that, very impressive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Great looking Hurricane. A few more pics wouldn't go amiss though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Excellent Hurricane! I expect the nerds could find a fault or two with the shapes (it's a Trumpeter, after all), but to my eyes she looks very convincing. In 1/24th scale, shouldn't the (missing?) aerial wire be de rigeur? Impressive model. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern well engineered kits from China, often let down by abymal research thus getting basic shapes wrong to a degree that is basically uncorrectable. In short, search up a particular kit, some are best in scale, eg 1/48th Wyvern and Seahawk, and see below, some have caused many British aircraft fans much wailing and gnashing of teeth, eg 1/48th Vampire, Hornet/Sea Hornet, Westland Whirldwind. Legend has it the Sea Hawk,Wyvern and Hurricane were results of outside contractor research,which makes sense given how bad some of the others are (ie google up some plans off the net) They could have even got their research done for free if they had used the information supplied from this thread http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/55621-spiteful-seafang-master/ Lots of feedback, information and corrections sent, none used, no corrections made. Trumpter have a sister company, Hobby Boss (they do, or did share the same factory, and thus share reasearch) who also are hit and miss. Trumpeter/Hobby Boss link, Trumpeter did a 1/16th T-34, with full interior, HB then did a 1/48th T-34 with full interior! In short, research any kit by either of these you might fancy. 36 minutes ago, Spitfire31 said: I expect the nerds could find a fault or two with the shapes (it's a Trumpeter, after all) Believe it or not, no, the Trumpy Hurricane is one of the best shaped Hurricanes in any scale! It have some small faults, and I'm not a fan of the recessed rivets, but it catches many subtleties of shape missed in other kits (and I am a Hurricane nerd) Why they have not scaled down the CADs to 1/48th and 1/72 is beyond me, as they'd be the best in both scales if they did. Very neat job on the model Noel! cheers T Edited October 20, 2017 by Troy Smith add detail 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That looks awesome. Do you have any more pictures? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Looks very good indeed compared to the Airfix kit which has a rather over thick leading edge wings and a horrible shaped spinner . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave N Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That's a very fine looking Hurricane... it looks very accurate shapewise, and you've done a great job with it... any more pics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelbarnes Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks everyone for your comments. I love Trumeter kits. I understand that sometimes they get details and shapes wrong, but the fit and details are what I am after. I am not overly worried about the inaccuracies, but Do lean towards a kit if it is more accurate. As Troy has mentioned above the 1/24 Hurricane is one of their best.
