neilg Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Here's a build I did on a break from 1:144 airliners. I did really enjoy this build, but it took quite a long time with all of the cockpit detail (none of which you can see with the canopy closed). I used Humbrol spray cans for the greys, and brush-painted the green camouflage. I thought this was a risk given the size of this kit, but I'm pleased with the even finish. I brush-painted the Humbrol satin varnish, but I haven't applied any weathering. He's pretty big! Here he is next to an Airfix 1:72 Hawker Hurricane: 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Chris It was great, the only issue I had was some poor fit on the flaps - but if you build it flaps down, it should be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Thanks Neil for the heads up. Crikey will have to deal with the flaps as if I leave them down I will be made to march around the parade ground in my shreddies holding a rifle above my head again!!!

SAT69 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Personal opinion sir: As great as your build is, I'd be disappointed to see it weathered. It's wonderful just like it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think this is the original photographed with a drone and the Hurricane is the real model. 👍👍👍 very nice ! all the best Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
