tonyot Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Hiya Folks, Here is another model from the batch which I have recently completed, this one being the new (ish) Airfix rag winged Huricane Mk.I in 1/72nd scale. The wing section behind the gun bays was actually metal skinned to allow access by the armourers but the kit has fabric rendition here, so it was sanded smooth and re scribed to make it look better. the doghouse fuselage section behind the cockpit was also sanded slightly to allow the canopy to be positioned in the slid back position. As usual the model has been brush painted using various acrylics but like the large scale Spit the white lower wing was done using rattle can white as this is quicker and easier than brush painting white. Decals are mostly from Xtradecal and the 5 spoke wheels are resin items from Freightdog models; The original fuselage roundels are finished in pre war colours with the addition of a yellow ring while the fin flashes and upper and lower wing roundels have been applied or modified later so are finished in wartime dull colours.

paul178 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Very nice as usual. Brush painting is an art and you are a very good exponent of it. Air Brushing is all well and good but at the risk of being burnt at the stake or excommunicated I wish more emphasis was put on the good old hairy stick used well it produces superior results and more pride in your craft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Nice raggy. IMO raggies have a certain unglamorous charm about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Great build and superb painting as usual. There is something very appealing about the early war RAF colours with the two-tone wing under-surfaces and the mix of markings. Very well done.

keefr22 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 You're a one man modelling machine Tony! I wish I could finish in a year what you turn out in a week! And if they were anywhere near your standard I'd be a very happy bunny! Superb little Hurricane, beautifully finished as usual! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Fantastic model! Can't have enough Hurricanes, especially when they are this good! Hopefully we'll see a lot more soon after the new airfix kit in 1/48 hits the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
