mike romeo Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Hi folks, I was taking March off from modelling, pending a couple of upcoming GBs, when I decided to throw together a Revell Sea Hurricane, trying to correct a couple of outline errors in the process. The result is shown below as a rocket equipped SHurri IIC from HMS Vindex (I'm following a profile on Wings Palette, so don't know how accurate it is) but as a quick build, it met the need. Prop / spinner is from Quickboost, vacform sliding canopy is from Squadron (I think) and the rockets / rails I believe came from a Hi-Tech Smer kit of the IIC although I may be wrong. Anyway, the rest is hacked about Revell plastic. Decals are from the spares box apart from the s/n (which is from the kit and is therefore wrong for this aircraft). regards, Martin Edited March 30, 2014 by mike romeo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike romeo Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Very nice build Mike I have a few of these Revell Hurricanes but have never build any yet. Thank you, Steve. It's a nice kit to build, but unfortunately it has a few outline errors to deal with. I had a go at fixing some of them on my build. regards, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winenut Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Nicely done Mike. I like the Bluey Grey upper colour....I've got a 30 year old Matchbox Tempest I finished in very similar colours I've got a Revell and an Academy Sea Hurri in the stash and I'm looking forward to them. Was your underside Medium Sea Grey???? Looks lightish but I suspect that's what you've used Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Folks, Thanks for your comments; they are appreciated. As I say, I built it quickly to illustrate some of the modifications that need to be made, so some of the details are a bit crude. @ Winenut, The underside colour was Sky. Topsides: Extra Dark Sea Grey and Dark Slate grey as per the FAA Temperate Sea Scheme. All the colours were Xtracrylix and brush painted. regards, Martin Edited April 3, 2014 by mike romeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
