corsaircorp Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hello Dears Wow, This is another advantage of my Hip surgery !! Second RFI and we are the 2nd of February ! Now my friend @Christer A Will feel some pressure 😰 A Corsair, 2 Seafires and a Hurricane since December !! Not too bad Indeed !! So, let's go, I like when I choose a model and a paint scheme to know a bit about it ! The scheme of this Hurricane was Strange enough to be siren song for me …. Well we are in Malta for the 3rd time since December… but not in Hal Far this time and not at the same era… The bird is from the 69th Sqdn based at Luqa airfield I will thank our Friend Troy for his precious indications ! She surely has received the tail unit from another Hurricane Following battle damage. Now why an azure blue Hurricane ?? Kinda like the famous Malta blue Spitfires ??? No ! not at all it's simpler !! It's a Recce bird, they were frequently field modified with 2 or 3 ventral cameras especially on the MTO and CBI But this is a thing that Italeri did'nt tell in the kit instructions !! I used the camera plug from Barracuda cast on this one too ! Paints are once again Xtracrylics ones The armament has been recuced to 2 MG per wing for compensate the weight of the cameras Some are completely disarmed but it's not the case here For the purist, I've Added the intervalometer in the cockpit too What do you think about this CC Albeit, I forget to glue the sight in front of the windshield Blimey !! Well, Advices and comments are welcome !! Let's see now my MTO family Christmas is now 1 month old but still there are 3 Rudolfs here !! Unless the red nose are due to the blistering sun ??? Or any other Reason…. Ooookay Have a great modelling time Friends !! Sincerely. CC 60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay a bit more of adjustments but the kits are REALLY similar ! I have 2 more Mustang in the doing, the first Mustang to draw blood at all and an air commando in CBI 3 hours ago, Kitchen Modeller said: That is one funky colour scheme.

Viking Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I really like that Hurricane, what an unusual colour scheme. The rest of the 'red noses' look great too! Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrritableRabbit Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Fantastic sir! Love that, and what a fantastic scheme. Not something I've seen before... Not hard as this wouldn't normally be my area of interest, but you really piqued my interest. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Hello Radleigh, The WiP for the Mustang is here The Seafire has been done before I signed up for BM, so no WiP for her The fuselage is a Tamiya Mk V and the wings are a resin kit from MDC !

corsaircorp Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hello All, I Don't know how to say it but seemingly and I think it's right... My Recce Hurricane is completely wrong... Azure blue is wrong, it should be Bosun blue… (Never heard of it before) Fuselage roundel is wrong too… Should be the same than the one used on the upper side of the wing And the spinner is wrong too… I should have checked before... So, I'll change the spinner, but I will not paint it black since almost all the allied aircrafts in MTO got red spinner and red is oftenly looking as black on B/W pics. Or may be make another one and see what I can do with this one. Whatever thank for your support and kind words. Have a great modelling time. CC I will not bin the kit !! I never did that But I'm a bit disappointed, should I've learned it before… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Are you sure about the colour? Bosun's Blue seems to be very dark, similar to roundel blue. I used the Hex numbers/letters in Paint.net from the article below 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, have a look on this thread especially the post from Tony O'Toole, seem that he has collected first hand testimony ! Except fot the black spinner, it all make some sense !

fubar57 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 We'll just say your blue has faded. You could source some roundels for the fuselage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Regardless of exact colour - it looks very impressive and novel - it completely changes the "vibe" of the aircraft Very nice work Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
