mack Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hello A couple of photos with one of my my latest kit. Arma Hobby 1/72nd Hawker Hurricane Mk.Ia - Eastern Front limited edition. Almost OOB. Painted old roundels under the decal crosses (as on the real machines) and painted tactical numbers. Vallejo Model Air paints.

Pete in a shed Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Very very good lulian. The Romanian markings bring a real splash of colour and the just visable roundals underneath show your eye for adding detail. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I had to really convince myself again, and again, that this is a 1:72nd model… Superb modelling and just the touch of weathering to bring her to life. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 A wonderful build. The Eastern Front markings look good on this bird, you've caught it superbly. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socjo1 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Another striking beauty in your collection. Very colourful but tored too. I like very much romanian planes, I hope you will show us soon my favourite type - beauty IAR-80! Have you plans building Łoś and Karaś? Best regards, Michał PS. Give my best to romanian Carpatians. I love them and miss... PS. Maybe some remarks of expert about my attempt Emil's depicting? https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235091152-tamiya-148-bf-109-e-7-colourful-nella-and-donald-duck/&tab=comments#comment-4040053 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the IAR-80/ 81, I fancy to build a couple of them in larger scale: 32nd, maybe 48th, do not know when... my next on the workbench is the PZL P.11 - again - but this time in 48th scale, out of the newest ArmaHobby offering. Maybe a parallel build with the smaller P.11b from IBG. Although not my favorite plane – if you like Hurricane you’re out of love for Spitfire or 109 😊 - your Emil is impressive. Out of my league; the kind of painting/ weathering I can only dream of doing… Congratulations! You building an Emil in Romanian colors somehow oblige me to do a Hurricane of the 303; I’ll seriously consider this.

Well, let me confess - I love Spitfire and IAR equally, they are both beautifull among my favourite planes. Hurricane - I like. Messer is... just messer 😉 . Anyway,I want do a slight 1/48 Hobby Boss conversion for IAR with Mickey Mouse badge. Quote You building an Emil in Romanian colors somehow oblige me to do a Hurricane of the 303; I’ll seriously consider this. Seems good plan! I'll wait. If you want some reference photos you can always write me PM. Best regards, Michał. Edited April 3, 2021 by socjo1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventsislav Gramatski Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Very nice model and always a pleasure to see something flying in the livery of our northern neighbors - Romanian Royal AF machines had very beautiful liveries. Looks like a heavily weathered Hurricane and with the roundels showing through, I assume these is (were) second-hand ex-RAF machine(s)? Were they delivered to Romania prior to June 1941? PS. Mind sharing how you did the chipping? It looks great! Edited April 10, 2021 by Ventsislav Gramatski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 12 new-build (1939 IIRC) aircraft delivered before German influence in Romania became dominant. They may have been in RAF stocks but not in squadron service. Plus three ex-Yugoslav ones later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind sharing how you did the chipping? It looks great! Covered roundels are Romanian ones - blue/ yellow/ red - the type of id used before the introduction of the crosses (May 1941) For chipping I'm using same method since starting to weather my models. The corresponding surfaces (e.g. wings, aft fuselage) of the model were first painted aluminium and left to thoroughly dry before applying the camouflage colors. Once the camouflage dry I'm using a scalpel with a new blade to localy remove the colors; using different blade geometry allows you to create various effects. The method works better if the alu substrate is enamel (not the case here, I've used acrylic overall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
