stevej60 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Hi all,mixed feeling's about this kit,love the IP,dry brushed,little detail with white paint then gloss coat dropped into the dial's look's busy enough. Not a lover of the seperate nose awful centre join that had tobe dealt with using filler. Had toput a couple of shim's in between the nose walls and cockpit frame to get a decent join with the rear section but look's fine now. Wing's assembled and insert's for the gun's fitted well.

stevej60 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Bit of a chew on as opposed to other Hurricane kit's but ready for primer and paint now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not bad Blitz,for a MkII you haven't a lot of choice out there and to be honest Airfix do a much better job of the Mk I (I'm building Hasegawa's in Brit's abroad) I just think they over complicated the fuselage/nose area,never seen Italeri's to pass judgement,I got both a tenner less than normal price which helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've got an Airfix mk 1 in the cabinet, always liked the later mk's though. Look forward to seeing how it turns out 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Morning folk's,primed over the weekend and undersides painted,this morning gave the upper's a coat of gray which seem's lighter than the Spit and Meteor already finished I'll have to look tomorrow and maybe re visit the colour!

I am Blitz,the other scheme is for the "Last of the Many" which wear's no code's so is a bit dull scheme wise,I'm not even sure she went to the RAF. I wasn't happy with the colour I had it marked on the bottle but must have tinkered with it so redone this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
