Katurbo 152 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 post Share on other sites

TheyJammedKenny! 1,515 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Nicely executed (dobrze wykonany)! Â I like the contrast between the silver of the gear bays and the night black underside camo color. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

Ratch 8,927 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 WW2Â 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Katurbo 152 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. More photos are available here:Â Â Edited August 19, 2020 by Katurbo 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Paint everywhere - very rushed job" Pilot Officer Frank Mitchell, 87 Squadron  That accounts for the non standard scheme. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Brigbeale 1,079 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 post Share on other sites
Sky Keg 1,856 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This is a superbly completed Hurricane!!!!!  Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ColinChipmunkfan 530 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 That model looks so good. Very believable and realistic, well done! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kapam 1,673 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 post Share on other sites
