Alan Hooker Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Airfix 'old tool' 1/48 Hurricane Mk.I. Very basic old kit, with muchos flash to remove on almost every part. Panel lines rescribed, and hairy sticked with Revell Aquacolours, apart from the white which is Halfords primer. Mig washes used for the panel lines. Finished off with a spray of Humbrol mattcote. Fun, but I think I'll hang on for the new Airfix tooling to arrive before I do another Mk.I (y) 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Nothing at all wrong with that. It's proof that nobody needs a wunderkit to produce a good model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszerino Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice! I'm about to do some Romanian Bf-109s and an IAR-80 myself. This being in Romanian markings, is it pre-war, captured, or post-war? Never seen a Romanian Hurricane before. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The markings on this one are for a plane flown by Captain av Emil Georgescu, Commander of Escdrila 53 vanatoare, Mamaia, in June of 1941 (y) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Love the Romanian colour scheme! It really makes the Hurricane look different. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
