Rabbit Leader Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 That's turned out wonderfully well Tony. Sorry to ask you for all your secret modelling methods, however whilst you're still up can you please advise how you achieve such subtle airframe chipping. It's most convincing to my eye. Cheers (and really loving this one!) .. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Really like your Hurricane ... Really like the pilot lounging while waiting to scramble. Ive got an old photo of a painting that shows a pilot sleeping under the wing an Airacobra on alert. He was apparently using it for shade. I would think Malta might be the kind of place to rest under the wing and out of the sun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Top work again Tony. The pilot and parachute add plenty to this one. Do you mind if I ask where you got them from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers,..... oh yes, mid summer it is shorts and under the wing,.....but I did say that it was winter,.... so maybe a few rays were just the job? I have seen a photo of an aircraft landed in Africa with a pride of Lion`s all resting in the shade under the wings! 48 minutes ago, Col. said: Top work again Tony.

Cheers Col,..... glad you like the pilot and parachute,.....they are white metal but I`ll be buggered if I can remember who did it,..... I bought and painted it yonks ago,... sorry!

Rabbit Leader Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This 1/48 version has really turned out a treat Tony and I hope you don't mind if I cheat and steal this particular scheme for my 1/48 kit whenever I get there? The weathering, out of cockpit seat belts, parachute and pilot are really nice touches and rounds off what is (yet another) excellent MTO build. Cheers and well modelled and researched...
