Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane I


Recommended Posts

Evening all,

 

Just finished off my latest build, Airfix's early ragwing Hurricane. I've hastily thrown this together as my original intention for build 13 hasn't gone to plan and has been shelved for the time being. Built completely OOB and finished as usual with Hataka Orange Line and Alclad, with W&N Galeria Matt to finish.

Maybe I should start “throwing my kits together” like you do Shaun because I absolutely love the way your`s has turned out.  A great addition to any Hurricane collection!!!!!! :goodjob:

Beautiful, clean build, lovely! Shows off the lines of the kit well and makes me want to build the one that's lurking in my pile. This could be used as box art on the kit (if Airfix were still into that sort of thing). Its a shame there are no wingtip lights in the kit, but painting them on is a bit dubious I suppose, especially when the rest of the build is so clean and honest.

Looks really good, I'm building one at the moment that is fighting me, the cockpit seems a little over engineered for some reason and the fit's not great either

It's a bit fiddly, but fits well. Only the wing trailing edges need good attention.
