Tired Old Puffers at the Last Ditch (3 x 1/72 Arma Hurricanes)


Recommended Posts

To my utter shame I missed this entire build - despite gaving numerous pithy observations while reading through, there seems little point now... other than to say that the whole read was a true Procopian pleasure, as always.

 

Oh, and I too will look forward to meeting you at Telford [though I noted a couple of pins very near Salisbury on your map - ?Stonehenge?]

Fantastic trio PC, you've got your own BoB Group Build finished and they all look spot on. Although I noticed the Bf 109 is not on fire, why is it not on fire?

Wonderful paint work and oil(!) weathering, as well as another excellent PC guided tour of the era, its people and its machines.

I have to confess that I've only ordered one...

It's a beautiful kit so I shouldn't be surprised in the least if you were to purchase more in the future. I'd love them to do the later marks.

Thats one to savour & trot out on special occasions, like a fine wine.

I'm guessing Middle Wallop Bovington & further west Yeovilton. Green with envy, nah, not me. :D

And then: "Ptoeey! What is this swill? Procopius '83? Dear god, send it back. Bring me a Sprite, I need to wash my mouth out. Dear me, dear me."

Hi Crisp :) Boscombe Down collection at Old Sarum and Middle Wallop. We'll publish the itinerary in this thread once it's finalised so that people can join us if they wish. It'd be great to meet up if you're free.

It's said that if you touch the hem of Navy Bird's robe, you gain a little of his modelling ability, and for a nominal fee, we'll be making this possible.

Do I get a cut of this "nominal fee?" I am, as you say, providing the robe.

 

Cheers,

Bill

Oh, naturally, naturally, less managerial expenses and so forth.

Beautiful finish PC. Your Hurricane build here has pushed my creaky old Airfix 1/24 to near the top of my stash and I thank you for that.

A Lancaster next? I hope you have as much fun as I did with my venerable Tamiya 1975 one. Lots of changes afoot ( depending on your model that is ) 

oooh exciting. But as for the Hurries one could not wish for a more splendid trio.

bravo sir.

 

Johnny.

They look nice. Any chance you can post some glamour shots without all the crap in the background? 

I may try to do an RFI, but no promises. It's a hassle to set up and my time is limited.
