russ c Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi Everyone, Thought I`d show some photo`s of my latest completion, My attempt at making a SEAC Hurricane IIc out of the old Hobbycraft 1/48 kit Finished to represent an aircraft of 34 Sqn,RAF, Patel, India, around late 1943 Built pretty much OOB, but added a few embellishments; such as retraction jacks for the main gear, some pipes in the wheel bay, stiffener for the radiator intake, fixed gunsight.... the bombs, bomb pylons and decals all came from the stash Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob85 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Really great Russ, as always I love your weathering and detail! Brilliant. I hope you don't mind but I have saved a few of the pics as reference as I am hopefully doing a seac iic with bombs in 1/48... so basically this plane. Thanks again Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgos Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Your model illustrates the weathering maxim perfectly Russ of "less is more", very restrained and subtle which captures the aircraft perfectly. Well done indeed! Max 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
