Hurricane Mk IID conversion


Recommended Posts

Here are some shots of my recent Hurricane conversion.  The base kit was a clear-moulded 1/144 Mk I from Sweet with lengthened nose, and scratchbuilt prop, spinner, canopy, cannons and later style exhausts etc etc.

Painting is with Mr Color lacquers and weathered with oils and Pergamino .5mm pale grey pencil. 

 

Hope you like it!

1/144!! 

 

I didn't read the caption before admiring the pictures, i was thinking to myself, "nice 1/48 scale build there." Working on these smaller planes and having them come out looking as good as that really is a higher level of modeling fiddlyness. Great work

Very impressive, especially lengthening the nose.

Not sure about the bulges over the rear wing access doors, I've only seen this on the Mk.V prototypes, but full details of the wing panelling are not pinned down.

Sweet have missed a trick by not doing  Mk.II versions of these kits.

Cheers
