IanC Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone. Here's the Airfix 1/72 Hurricane in No. 615 Squadron markings. It's a lovely little kit, albeit with some inaccuracies, and many of you will be familiar with it. My only addition was a set of etched seat straps. The cockpit detail is very good as it stands. I used Vallejo Model Air paints over a Tamiya priming coat. Then W&S Galeria varnish and a little bit of weathering with pastels, oil washes and a silver pencil. With his big brother.... Best wishes Ian Edited February 21, 2020 by IanC 58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning to build another Spit and Defiant this year to join it in a little Battle of Britain 80th anniversary tribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the ones made by Eduard but cheaper. I got mine from Hannants. I sometimes mask up using ordinary Tamiya tape but the pre-cut ones make life a lot easier! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a bit more accuracy you're probably aware that the fabric effect behind the gun panels needs to be filled. I'm afraid I didn't bother. Look forward to seeing yours here!

OutcastJoel Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Beautiful build there! This may have shunted a 1/72 hurricane to the top of my build next list... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
