Ignacio Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi folks! This is mas last completion, the really good Airfix Hurricane Mk.I in 1/72. Straight from the box. The only modification is that I vacuformed the sliding canopy. I hope you like it, althought I made several mistakes and it´s not my best kit. Best regards from Uruguay!

ivand Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 That's very impressive, shows a lot of skill! By the way, it's nice to see we share the same first name, even if mine is the French spelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm in the process of building that kit as one of the 20 rag-wings Canada purchased in 1939. If mine comes out looking half as nice as yours, I'll be stoked! Well done. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Thanks very much Ivand! And thanks to all you guys for your kind words! Really appreciated! Ignacio Edited March 5, 2018 by Ignacio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 the vac canopy is a really neat touch, did you use the kit one as a mould? I say this as the canopy rides quite high, the Airfix spine is too scale, and as such the canopy is too high. 2 hours ago, Ignacio said: Straight from the box. Looks like you added some seatbelts as well? Very neat job overall and a really good finish, not over weathered. cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the vacuformed plastic goes above the original part, it fits very well on the spine. Regards. Ignacio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Brilliant job Ignacio. I have almost completed my own very same model. It's interesting to see how someone else has finished it. I really like yours. I'll post my own in RFI in a few days. Cheers Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m not completely satisfied with how some things ended up. One always have "my best model so far", and this is not. I always try to improve my skills and results, and I made several mistakes on this one for being a fool... Maybe you can´t tell by the photos, but I know there are! Best regards.
