    Hawker Hurricane Mk IIc 1/48 Arma Hobby

    My bundle arrived today 😁 Mk.IIB+Mk.IIC+Sea Hurri Mk.IIC. Very, very happy and looking forward to building them. Thank you, Arma!

     

    My only quandary is that I'd planned to build the Mk.IIB as an ML-KNIL example in the Asia GB, but one of the box schemes is a Church Stanton-based aircraft, and Church Stanton is near where I grew up! :hmmm:

    Oh those are everywhere. It's an unused option on what Eduard refers to as their Spitfire IXc (Early), note the illustration of sprue E on page 2 of the instructions https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/6/4/5/1030645-97-instructions.pdf

    Thanks, yes I'd spotted that but I'm not really in the market for a Mk.IX at the moment, and as we're gearing up to move house soon I don't want to be buying more kits at the moment! :D I might try a want ad and see if anyone's got one sitting in a spares box!

    So, as a follow-up to my questions just above, does anyone know if after market Spitfire Aerovee carb intakes and Mk.IX props are available in 1/48 scale?

     

    Ultracast make prop blades and spinner for the Eduard Mk.IX, but use the kit backplane.

    Wondering if i should risk painting the upper roundels in a more faint colour as well

    Hi Pete,

    I'd say that's a great idea - the fading doesn't need to be by much but I think it would work really well against the faded PRU Blue.

    Cheers,

    P.S. Tamiya decals have a bit of a reputation but *apparently* can be made to work very well. As I understand it, they need hot water and the right softener and setter. I've got a link on my laptop to a how-to here on BM which I'll attach in the morning.
