woody37 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Finally got these off the bench after a few months of modelling inactivity. Enjoyable builds, and I think the Hurricane looks much sweeter on its boots than the Spitfire, so as a modelling subject I prefer it. They are the limited edition kits using box decals (Mostly) although the prop on the Romanian one is an Airfix Spit prop thanks to Troy, as well as the guidance he gave throughout the builds. There a few things left to do and some errors most noticeable on the Romanian one, but I'm not going to tell you if you don't already know! Painted with Gunze dark earth, Tamiya dark green (xf-81), Xtracolour mid stone and azure blue. The only aftermarket bits were the Mk.II exhausts and Falcon canopies. The Crois de Loraine decals supplied in the kit are red, so I cut some blue decals up to overlay them with blue ones which from the evidence I've come across appears to be the case. Hope you enjoy Romanian kite Free French kite Thanks for looking, Neil 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Both very neat builds and in unusual finishes. I think the Romanian one just edges it for me though. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VG 33 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Both are very nice and I do prefer the French one, for the colours perhaps. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks guys. I forgot, there is PE in the cockpits too. There seems to be a split on favourite schemes, Crois de Loraine for me due to the desert camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Two great looking builds, and both in very different markings. I've always had a soft spot the Hurricane and yours do it proud. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niki Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Lovely, sharp looking builds regardless of whatever errors you may be referring to... I am always extremely pleased to see a Romanian plane being build, but I can agree with you and applaud the very nice Free French Hurry also! Great job overall!

woody37 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 There's some great options out there for the hurricane, Rich (Hurrinut) has built an inspiring collection and displays them at the shows, some really interesting options out there including two seaters. Thanks for your kind comments. At a loss of what to build next, too many inspirations taking me in different directions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
