Katurbo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hello, I had a long journey with that kit - it's easier than mk.I, however my low skills caused several problems on various steps. I cannot wait for 1/48 kit which should look as 1/24 in the box. 😀 52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Nicely executed (dobrze wykonany)! I like the contrast between the silver of the gear bays and the night black underside camo color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect! all the best Andy I'm not a photography expert, so I guess that there is a few steps to achieve that effect. At first, I use one lamp 125 watt/5500K with white translucent umbrella (but I need buy one set more). White balance in camera is set to "automatic", so the rest of the "magic" I do in Picasa 3. That photo is too dark at the beginning (a little bit more than the rest from the photo session) , but let's try to quickly fix it: Cheers Artur Edited August 19, 2020 by Katurbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Lots of clever painting techniques but I'm afraid the basic scheme is neither the A or B scheme AMOs dictated for WW2 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katurbo Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Yep, it's not A or B scheme - but please compare with first photo, where the plane doesn't fit exactly in A or B. That plane was repainted from "black night" scheme by mechanics (probably using brushes), and I see a few exceptions to the rules - and I tried to map them + my little bit invention on right side, where only right wing tip is visible.

"August 18- spent the day apart from briefing, in converting the black night fighters to daytime camouflage. Paint everywhere - very rushed job" Pilot Officer Frank Mitchell, 87 Squadron That accounts for the non standard scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigbeale Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 What a fantastic looking Hurricane. I own a 35+ year old 1/72 Matchbox depicting LKoA in night-fighter black. It’s my favourite model out of all of my collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Low skills? No evidence of that on your Hurricane. She's a beauty. I'd pay handsomely for skills that achieve results like that! 😮😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
