The Spadgent Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Ok that's a weird one. Chickens sorted and boys laptop borrowed. the cut and paste seems to work on PC but still not on my phone so I'll post from here. First up the hurri gets set up in my expensive painting booth. ( a wellie box on a stool ) I have sanded the gun bay covers and gators gripped them in place ( only a little blob ) so I can pop them off later on. first blast of primer on. All looking good. after drying the top half got some action. that was left to dry. Here she is ready to pre shade. I will pre shade the main lines in black then hit the lesser marks in blue grey for the underside and matching colours on the top. First pass on the underside done. The top looks good too. I'm currently thinking about the top colours. I was going to do green brown, you know green and brown right. Then I got to thinking Blue and green. Is that a Sea Hurricane? Is there any difference? I'm guessing there is. If not I might go green and blue as that looks kinda sexy. any way while I wait for someone to say "Don't be so daft" I did the blue grey on the secondary parts.. squiggles and lines done I loaded up the brush with Sky. Here's one side with a first pass. Lot's of light passes wins the game here. first total pass done. I let that dry then hit it again. this is two more passes on just before I did a lighter pass with a mixture of sky and white. and by the window. I'm happy with that. I have given her a blast of clear after drying. I need to glue on the rear flaps and mask up for the top colours. luckily I found these. Still though they are sold out everywhere. I also need some TS 13. I hate not having a LMS I also hate my phone not working to post. Fingers crossed It'll get sorted. Any hoo. I'm off to start dinner. Hope you're all having a jolly weekend. Catch y'all later on. Johnny. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdave22014 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hi Jonny Painter, As someone suggested earlier, I've been using IPA to thin all acrylics (Vallejo, Tamiya, AK, etc) without any issues for several years. It's a damn sight cheaper than "own brand" stuff. If you can, get a little travel size plastic bottle for dispensing into the paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) oh my goddddd. just found what the problem is. Apple have just added three finger cut and paste. Slide three fingers together to copy and expand thee finders to paste. This works if I copy from Flickr then expand the fingers rather than clicking and pressing the paste button. Oh man I have to see if I can turn that off. 😩😩 Edit. Apparently you can’t turn it off. 😔Seems like the three finger cut and paste gesture that was added in iOS 13 is playing havoc with the BM structure. You can get around it by actually swimming with thee fingers to paste. Bit of a pain but it’ll do until it gets fixed. 🤞🥳 Edited September 22, 2019 by The Spadgent 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that we’re able to use more fingers with the phone now! 😉 And absolutely positive thing is that we’re able to connect with each other via these gadgets. The Hurricane looks absolutely fantastic with the belly painted! 👍 P.S. In my experience, the Flickr has some issues from time to time, too - especially with a copying the BBCode on an iPad and iPhone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Updates and upgrades..... Don't you just love 'em?!?!! What ever happened to "Keep it SIMPLE, Stupid!"...?

The cut and paste three finger gesture was added to iOS 13 to make thinks easier. You can still use the old way though. Alas a bug stopped this. It’s all fixed now with the new update. i deal with bugs like this every day at work. 🐜🕷🦗🦟 On 9/23/2019 at 1:09 AM, CedB said: Nice Sky Johnny - do it green and brown, you know you want to! IOS 13?

Troy Smith Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 You mention in a Spitfire thread about roundel postions. see https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Camoflage-Markings/03-Hawker-Hurricane note the factory drawing with dimension as to where the camo lines are... there are measurements as to where the roundels are placed the correct wing roundels, (the underwing is subject to variability, if you read the link and look at the drawings it will explain, but the factory applied ones aren't) Note, I keep posting this, as it's 'lost' but there is a formula, upperwing roundels (and underwing) are have their centres are 1/3 of wing span (from centreline) in from tip Hurricane 40 span. = 480 inch, /2 = 240 inch, /3 = 80 inch. Note measurement at top left of wing to roundel centre. 80 inch. What scheme are you doing? If it's LK-A,. there are good photos of both sides.
