Fly/Hasegawa 1:72 Hawker Hurricane

[Kevin Callahan]

Continuing the onslaught of 2019 completions, this is the Fly repop of the Hasegawa Hurricane. It's good to see it back again, since the admittedly overdone rear fuselage representation was not a dealkiller for me. And the Fly kit came with three options I wanted to do: a silver overall with a red fuselage stripe, a Free French example, and this one: from the South African Air Force. 

 

The two greens were a mystery for a while, but with help from Britmodeller posters, I settled on X001 Dark Green and X116 Light Green over Azure Blue, with Trainer Yellow stripes. The Fly decals performed well, with little need for setting solution. This aircraft was based in Port Elizabeth for 11 Squadron SAAF in 1945. 

 

This is completed aircraft #504 (2 aircraft, 0 ordnance, 0 vehicles for the year 2019), finished in January of 2019. As always, more details on the blog.

That's a different scheme. It must have been hard to get that yellow square masked over the corrugated surface.

Very nice, that's an unusual scheme

Nice job on an interesting subject! One thing though. Did you forget to unmask the lights?
