Stefanoff Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hello friends! Another one of my lates works. Actually, the model was started more than 10 years ago, in 2007th, but I have finished it few months ago. The model I have built straight of the box, only gun tubes were replaced, navigation and landing flaps were done by me. The exhaust tubes were drilled out also. The painting is clean with light, non emphasized weathering. Some micro weathering, chiping, etc., but nothing too heavy and dirty. For this model I put more attention on the dispaly base, and in my humble opinion, the grass become quite good. The wheel chocks are made by me and painted in wood color. Hope you like it! 52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Excellent Hurricane and the light weathering looks just right to my eyes. Top class modelling. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Wish it were mine! And you're sure you haven't pressed the wrong button and it should read "1/32" instead of "1/72"? If my 1/48 came out this good I'd be overjoyed! Cheers and thanks for sharing Hans J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Fantastic work! I like how the panel lines go through the decals. That is not always easy to achieve, but it makes the decals more look like painted on. How did you drill out the exhaust tubes? They are so tiny.

jean Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hi Stefanoff, I like it all: Hurricane AND grass! I have never dared (or always been too lazy?) to build a diorama for a model, so I am always very impressed when they are simple and look s right, just like yours does. So I guess congratulations are definitely in order! JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR I have to agree Jean - a simple vignette really lifts an already great looking bird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanoff Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thank you for the good words, friends! I'm glad you liked my work. The grass is few types, different colors, of static grass, layed over a dirt base, covered with few types of scatter. I wanted to mix different colors of grass to achieve the airfield grass effect and not to fulfill the entire base only with grass, the dirt have to be visible too. I think it happened quite well. About the decals I forgot to mention that the original Revell decals are in wrong color. Lettering and the S band are in somekind of vivid light green shade. Nothing common with the egg blue color. So, I painted and masked the S-band, after that I airbushed the letters in the same color. When they dry I cut them carrefuly and put them on the model. In this way the letters and the band are in same, correct, dolor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
