OutcastJoel Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I am currently building a 1/24th scale model of Hawker Hurricane with reporting code UF*S from my Grandad's squadron during the Battle of Britain. With it being a very large project I am interspersing it with a few small projects, the first of which is this, a small version of the same aircraft. I used the Arma Hobby kit, which is gorgeous and painted it in Alclad enamel colours. With most of the aircraft during the Battle being fairly young I have kept the weathering light, with only gun and exhaust staining and a bit of mud above the wheels. The last shot shows it head to head with an Airfix Hurricane I must have built nearly 20 years ago with Humbrol starter kit acrylics! 20200725_160440_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_160715_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_142615_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_160516_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_142143_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_141218_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_141237_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 20200725_141920_Film2 by OutcastJoel, on Flickr 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Two things to mention. 1. Keeping a kit for 20 years without serious damage is something special, on its own. 2. Your latest Hurricane is exceptional. Bravo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Looking forward to seeing your 1/24 effort because it will have a lot to look up to, that’s a superb effort, good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Stunning model, great scheme and great work. Can't wait to see the large scale kit too. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_the_drummer Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 How absolutely lovely. Very very nice build - I've just picked one of these up, and having seen this am going to make a start on it today. Really very tidy build, and I like the subtle weathering. I think mine may well be rather more of a beater! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutcastJoel Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thank you very much all! I think it is probably the best RAF scheme of the Battle. The big one has been awesome so far, I have no idea where I am going to put it when done though... On the topic of weathering, I am really bad at weathering so am always nervous about ruining a model with it. I need to pick some subjects which need heavy weathering to force me to do more.

Bugle07 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Cracking build, and photos! Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP42 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 That really is something, it's stunning build and could pass for a much bigger scale. It's night and day compared to your older model. Deeply impressed at your skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
