russ c Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi Everyone, whilst waiting for paint and glue to dry on some other builds, I thought I`d give my old Hobbycraft Hurricane builds a bit of a refurb` First up is my attempt at making a IIB from the IIC/IID kit, based in Burma Added extra 4 guns and filled in the panel lines on the wings The second is a IIC based in India Which you saw a year or two ago which I`ve refined the weathering a bit Thirdly a Burma based IID, which I initially painted with Grey and Green Camo` Also added a few details I`d left off And finally, a Malaysian based IV Which has got a resin armoured radiator which was meant for the Hasegawa kit and rockets from a Tamiya Mossie or Beaufighter I know the Hobbycraft kit has a few faults but it`s easier to get hold of, cheaper and because they`re all the same.... none of them look out of place Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking Cheers Russ 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 A great collection of Hurricanes. I'm just re-reading Hurricanes Over the Arakan so this is very timely for me. Great weathering and photography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
