1:144 Revell Hurricane and Kittyhawk


Recommended Posts

So, got another two wee 1:144 kits finished last night and tonight.

 

These are the Revel Micro Wings Hurricane and P40 Kittyhawk. The kits were about 2 quid each so I wasn't expecting superior quality but they went together fine.

 

I cut the canopy open on the Hurricane to show the "scratchbuilt cockpit bits".     :rolleyes:  I'd no sooner done so than I realised how thick the canopy was and wished I hadn't.

 

Painted in Tamiya RAF Green and Flat Earth with Tamiya Sky underneath.

 

Anyhoos, here's the pics:

The Kittyhawk was painted in Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan and Flat Earth with a concocted mix for Azure Blue. I used AM Mehusala (?) roundels and lettering. The shark mouth and eye are home made decals.

 

I also lost the undercarriage so had to scratchbuild new ones which are a bit crude.

Good job on what must be one of the worst Hurricane kits, shapewise that is. It would be difficult to squeeze a 144th scale Merlin into that front end…  ;-)

 

The Kittyhawk shape looks more convincing to me, but then I'm not that familiar with the type.

 

Nice modelling!

 

Kind regards,
