1:48 Arma Hobby Hurricane MkIIc - RFI
shortCummins posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Here is my attempt at building the Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane MkIIc as a non-specific “night intruder” This is Arma Hobby’s 2nd 1/48 scale kit, I’d previously built their 1st, a PZL P.llc also an excellent kit, so I was looking forward to this, and I wasn’t disappointed! The engineering and fit is very close to what you’d expect from Tamiya and the level of detail comparable to Eduard, when they release their version of a Sea Harrier I’ll be getting one. Wherever possible I prefer to paint markings rather than use decals so the squadron and aircraft codes are not accurate, they were selected from previously used Montex masks (from Spitfire and Typhoon sets). I’ve also opted to show the aircraft with, too much?, chipping of the black paint showing the "original" brown & green “day” camo’, whilst not strictly accurate it was an interesting exercise and, I hope, adds a wee bit of extra interest? EXTRAS: Eduard Brasin exhausts Eduard SPACE 3D cockpit decals and steel harness (I didn’t use the IP from this set) Master brass machine guns Brengun landing light PE Montex masks PAINTS: Tamiya MRP MrWeathering 502 Abteilung oils Enough waffle, here’s the photos… Some black and white versions… You can read my build log here until next time as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) -
Greetings Brits... I recently joined the forum, and I got a lot of help from you all on scoping information for a Night Intruder Hurricane IIc... I have always wanted to make a Hurricane in this scheme with Medium Sea Grey and Dark Green Topside and Black Underside, with the Red Codes that were eventually applied over the original Sky Codes... This is a cool scheme on a hurricane and complements the all the models we make in the usual fighter day camouflage. This is a Hasegawa 1/48 Kit, with some extras added to improve the model... I first applied the extra PE seat belt harness left over from the Tamiya Spitfire to improve the interior... Then ordered Quick Boost Resin External Tanks and Resin 'Type B' Cannons as the original Night Duty LK-R aircraft had. It was great that Quick Boost offers the different cannon types so we can make the correct armament for our Hurricane IIc! Next I used Techmod Decals Hurricane Insignia Sheet for the Proper Roundels... Then I used Fantasy Printworks 27" Tall Dull Red RAF codes... I did have to touch them up with some paint because they didn't match the insignia's (and I like all the colors to match)... well the end of a long journey and a dream fulfilled for a Night Intruder scheme Hurricane! Oh the best part... I did learn that this camouflage was field applied and is a unique pattern. It is different than the standard RAF Hurricane patterns. I searched for many photos of this squadron 'LK' and found some great in-flight photos with other aircraft with this same scheme. They consistently applied this to many aircraft so it was something they patterned. I was able to generate a reasonable sketch of the pattern as the Left Upper wing was visible and outer half of the right outer wing upper was visible... I had to conjecture the right side of the fuselage (but continued the wrap from the visible left side) and conjecture the inner/upper right wing appearance that was not visible in photos... Here it is on the workbench, Ready for Inspection! Thanks for checking it out and all the help! -Bob
