kiwichappers Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 At last a start on my contribution, I have opened the box and splashed a bit of paint and glue around. A couple of shots of the cockpit.
CPNGROATS Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 At last a start on my contribution, I have opened the box and splashed a bit of paint and glue around. A couple of shots of the cockpit. Kiwi: A nice bit of splashing I'd say..just think what it would look like if you took your time... Cheers, ggc
bexwh773 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Nice cockpit, what kit is it? Er Im getting worried about you Sis, think you need eyes testing again If you read the title you might find that its the cockpit from OK 1 which was Sir Keith Parks Hurricane personal toy And this version is looking rather nice so far Bex Edited July 17, 2008 by bexwh773

Rob M. Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 That's not bad detail for 1/144 too! I'll get my Rob M.
bexwh773 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I know that but is it a 1:48, 1:72, Tamiya, Airfix? Well its a plastic kit and from the cockpit Id say its probably 48th........... that help Bex EDIT: On second glance might even be 32nd or 24th Edited July 17, 2008 by bexwh773

dylan the rabbit Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Lovely.. Which kit though? Edited July 17, 2008 by dylan the rabbit
kiwichappers Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for compliments people. Hasegawa 1/48 kit. Daz do you have any more pctures of OK 1, as they seem to be thin on the ground for a significant aircraft.
daz greenwood Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Hi mate. That's the only pic I found of OK 1 while surfing the internet. I couldn't find anymore mate sorry. Edited July 17, 2008 by daz greenwood
Hurrinut Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Found this whilst surfing hope it helps That's a still photograph of the MkII used in the Battle of Britain film, as Trevor Howard's (AVM Park) Hurricane. Notice the six stack exhausts, large De-Havilland spinner with wide prop blades and EE Lightning in the background on the right. The film makers have put the K on the wrong side of the roundel when you compare it to Daz' photograph and to me it looks like the codes, on the real machine are in white and not the usual Medium Sea Grey. Which they do appear to have got right for the film but they are too large! Edited July 19, 2008 by Hurrinut
Test Graham Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 That's a Mk.II. I suspect this is a warbird marked up for somefilm or TV programme. And that's another Hurricane in the background, which suggests a fairly recent photo despite the poor colour quality. Interesting.
AndyL Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 It's Hurricane PZ865 when it was G-AMAU, during the making of the BoB film. There was also a replica marked up the same way which is apprently privately owned in NZ.
