Tzulscha Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ah the nostalgia. Yeah the Hurri was definately one of the better old kits. Though I personally think the Stuka was the best that Airfix did back in the day. Right out of the box that one looks teriffic. You seem to be moving right along with this build. I only wish I could knock 'em out, but I get so bogged down with all the little fidly bits. Something this big really needs all the fiddly bits too doesn't it? Very nice. Let's see some more! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and I really can’t believe how many there are. 😳 On 6/24/2019 at 6:09 PM, AdrianMF said: Like that a lot. It seems like the Hurricane is the best of the "old gen" 1/24 kits? Regards, Adrian It’s better than the Messerschmitt. At least it has wheel wells. 🤪 On 6/24/2019 at 7:36 PM, rob85 said: That’s delightful painting and details!

It’s a great kit so far. I really need the Stuka in my life but I need to finish kits first. 🤔 and the fiddly bits are the best bits. 🥳 Thanks for all the lovely comments. 🤗 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Hey! Not a great deal done but it’s going to be busy over the next few days / weeks so I’m going to post while I can. I couldn’t resist @(ex)Sgtrafman‘s starter thing on the engine frame that I missed so I decided to add it too. 🤩 I built all the little strut parts and the sprockets from cut up left over parts and plasticard. Then I added the chains from lead wire and obvs painted everything too. 😇 Right onto the IP. 👌 The Decal card got glued to the clear part and popped onto the main panel. might need a trim. 🤣 trimmed. 😊and glued the back on. Clamps ahoy! then the side looked a bit like a liquorice allsort.😬 So I filled it. that needs to dry now. 🥳 I said short. 🤗 Thanks for dropping by. hope you’re all having a fab week. Johnny. Oh nearly forgot the Klear dried ...erm Clear. 😀🙌 Check the compass. Edited June 25, 2019 by The Spadgent 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritag Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I’m late to the party - but keen to sneak in now Great choice Johnny. Such a reminder of childhood. A classic Airfix 1/24 kit and a Gerald Scarborough book! Got to love it. Still got my 1970’s copies....... I tried soooo hard with the Hurricane..........but ‘twas still a bit of a cackhanded mess Love what you’ve done so far. Great painting and finishing (of course.....) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice to have you aboard sir. I hope I can bring back those child hood memories. 😊 I have already done the Messerschmitt using Gerald’s book and now this one. I must admit the black and whites don’t help. 🤣 it’s a wonderful reference and companion to the build however, nothing like building a bit then sitting in my little chesterfield and reading how Mr Scarborough would have done it. 👨🦰. I’d like the Stuka at some point. Did he only do those four books? Thanks for all the kind words guys. Johnny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hey you lot. Hope you’re all having a sunny funny weekend. 😇🌞 Amongst the many things stopping me modeling I managed a little modeling. Get me. 🕺 I eventually managed to lay down the interior green. And the outer. Aaaaand tother side. The other side of the tank got envious too. I began to spray the knock out hatch when I noticed I hadn’t pre shaded so. Psssst. Oh and this odd bit needs going in. you’ll never see it so I’ll give it a black blast just in case. All the little bits got primed. I also did the spare tank brick red and glossed ready for some Flory action. The bit of Merlin engine I pilfered from the Cornwall spitfire garden needs to be squirreled away.🐿 seems like a good spot. While all that was drying I painted some pith helmets for the boys end of school show. he is doing the Monty Python fish slapping dance with his friend. 🤣🤪🐟 Any hoo back to the hurri. I Floried the bits that needed it and did various chores while they dried and “of course” forgot to take snaps. 🤔 the IP got touched up. the tank looks good with a first weather pass. more to come. 🥳 First pass on the break out panel. needs highlights and maps. Possibly text too? ☺️ Some of the last controls got added too. I have some Flory to rub out on the other panels but it’s getting late and my eyes don’t work so with that I’ll call it a night. Hope you’re all still enjoying the build. all the best and as always. Happy modeling. Johnny. 🌪 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
