The Spadgent Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The Hurricane MK 1 - 1/24 by Airfix RFI Hello and a happy new year to you all. I'd like to start the new year with the RFI of my last actual completed build of 2019. She has been built for a month or so but I didn't find the right moment to do the RFI. You must excuse the sheer amount of pics once again but I do like to indulge myself sometimes. I couldn't fit her in my little photo tent thing so I took her outside and took a few shots while the sky was bright and fell in love all over again. The WIP can be found HERE and If you followed along you know how much effort I have put in to attempt to get her right, she might not be 100% but I hope that she will be useful to those wishing to build this lovely vintage kit. I used. Airfix Hurricane 1/24 Tamiya acrylics Tamiya weather powders Flory washes. Ezy line I think that was it. Without further ado Ladies and gent I give you a Massive Hurricane Mk1. Inside first I think. Phew!!!!! 🤠 Now get a fresh brew maybe a biscuit and enjoy the outside shots. and the parting shot.... That's your lot.....😍 Thankyou so much for indulging but /she is such a joy to photograph. I hope you enjoyed the build if you followed along and if not I hope you enjoyed these shots, If not I can't help you . 🤪 I should now be up to date with my RFIs. I have added my meng tank and the Torino today too. I have my current Gundam kit to complete then I'll be back to Aeroplanes. ( it's a bit lonely over in sci-fi land to be fair. ) All the best and as always happy modelling. Johnny.😎 70 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG X Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Possibly the finest 1/24 Airfix Hurricane I have seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Impressive job, Johnny - very realistic! And she's HUGE! Lovely pics too Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm looking at that pic of you holding it at the rudder/empennage and can't help a slight shudder. Lovely finish, the wash keeps it subtle enough. (just the broken aileron cabling to fix then) 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Looks like you just parked the plane outside your front door and walked in, still wearing your parachute and leather helmet. Brilliant.....!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Oh well... Both ailerons hanging down is a sure indicator of maintenance going on (if that wasn't obvious from the engine cowlings removed) 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Impressive detailing! I hope the ailerons are not glued – both hanging down at extreme deflection adds a jarring note to your magnificent build… Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafetyDad Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Very very nice indeed. The underside weathering is especially well done (not taking away from the rest of your build!) Beautiful! SD Edited January 7, 2020 by SafetyDad typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmas Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hell's bells. I can't believe I've missed the build thread of this. I'm going over to have a look. She's a real beauty...and gi-flippin-normous too. I love the black and white pic. It's really evocative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 As has already been said, got to be the best 1/24 Hurri ever. Absolutely brilliant. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Bloody lovely! Apart, as mentioned, from both ailerons being down. Please put one up, as required by aerodynamic requirements and HM Regulations! Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
