Hawker Hurricane Mk I and Mk IIc 1/72 Arma Hobby


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

let me present a recent builds of Arma Hobby´s Hurricanes. The first one is a Hurricane in Portugal colours and it was really a pleasant OOB build. The second one is a most successful Hurricane of 310 Czechoslovak squadron during the BoB with 6 kills claimed by several pilots. The kit is also a part of small group build with my friends dedicated to Bob adversary. I hope you like it. If you are interested in a bit more details and photos, I would appreciate your visit there on my blog http://72insight.com/en/hawker-hurricane-mk-i-and-mk-iic-1-72-arma-hobby/

Here on the blog you can also find another BoB Hurricane build by my friend Vladimir Kafka.

Nice to see these.  Glad I am not the only one who had problems with the Arma Mk.1 kit!    Also good to know the Mk.11C kit is better. Will reconsider building the one I have.  Incidentally, for those who were unaware, a number of retired Portuguese Hurricanes flew back to the UK for filming. They appeared in Angels One Five.

Well, despite some imperfections I still consider the Mk I kit on the top and better than many others kits and brands.

Stunning! I hope to do a Portuguese bird too. Would you mind telling me what colour you used on the spinner?

 

Unfortunately I can not remember exact formula as I have used some remainder green colour from other builds which I mixed with the new fresh colours to get right tint.  What I can generally say is, it was Tamiya mix of green XF-5 as base with addition blue X14, white, yellow XF-3.
