Kriss Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 While doing further cleaning I came across a Hurricane Mk. II D from Hasegawa and after checking the contents of the bag because the box was gone, it turned out that the hanging cannons were missing. I already had a few extras purchased for the model, but not being able to make a "D" version I decided to take a look at the documentation I had and see what extras were in stores. I was interested in the offer from Montex-mask in which I found an interesting camouflage option for the "C" version so it will be created from this set. Originally it was supposed to be Hurrican Mk. II B from Polish Squadron and for it I had bought tracing paper from SP-DECAL, unfortunately life verified this idea. And to complete my happiness, I bought to the as-is condition in a pouch: - montex-mask K48257 - masks from AMLM 49031 - barrels from Master AM-48-085 - board from Yahu Models A4807 And in the found model bag I already had: - CMK No. 4011 - CMK No. 4012 - AIRES 4478 - EDUARD 49536 - QUICKBOOST QB 48 066 I'll see what comes out of it, a lot of extras so it will be a lot of fun too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Before I start building any model I make a plan to work on it and depending on it I either do it straight out of the box or add something to it. But without a work plan, you're not going anywhere. And here I adopted the concept to swing out all the control surfaces and flaps. So before starting to build the cabin and everything in the fuselage as is my custom here I first started with the cutting and trimming. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Now it was time for the interior of the cabin. I used a board from YAHU, it looked the best of what I had to use. CMK was to be painted and from EDUARD painted and only to be put together. However, the look of the board from YAHU was definitely the best even though it was finished. I also made a new pilot's seat out of tin and a few trinkets. So that the rest of the cabin is also prepared for painting. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Cockpit interior done, straps are already laid on the seat. Now all that is left to do is to polish it and put on the signs of use. And with that, I have a finished interior. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 I replaced the interior of the chassis compartment with resin and completed it with sheet metal . Here it is not yet complete and not glued into the wing. A little more sanding and everything will fit as it should. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 In my spare time I sat down again and the flaps are done, now I have to put the wings together. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Pace continues, the fuselage is already closed as well as the wings and now it remains to put everything together. And this is where this little problem jumped out at me, the resin doesn't fit. The rudder is too small and you can clearly see it, so the decision was made to reinstall the plastic one cut from the model and so I did. Ailerons and here the same thing is missing 3mm in length, this is also visible, so again I used the ailerons cut from the model by gluing pieces of plastic into them to give them the right shape. The photo still shows everything in loose parts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 I managed to put everything together and it's ready for the primer. Additionally, I replaced the cab cover on the vacu. With so much going into the cabin, it would be a shame not to make it open. I had to do something with the windscreen too as the vacu didn't fit and I used the front windscreen from the kit and the movable part of the cabin cover from the vacu. Apart from the model itself I made all the other parts to be painted with primer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 I've already painted the bottom and it's ready, and masked it off before further painting. By the way I also masked the interior of the cabin, if it goes well I may be able to put another camouflage color today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amos brierley Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hi-yer Kriss some where in this world…….. I haven’t seen any one talking about the less than tought fabric skinning on the rear fuselage. I was just wondering if this is something you’d thought about tackling? Only asking as it’s been a concern for modellers over the years. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi! amos brierley My English is very poor and I'm writing through a translator and so I'm really begging you to write me a more simple question. Because I understood that it is about restoring the canvas covering of the rear part of fuselage? I putty such places and shape them with files and then polish them with abrasive sponges of various gradations. Is that what you meant? Another camouflage color applied and in order not to mess around with camouflage stains I applied masks to them for the first time. AML did a really good job, the masks fit very well and the shape of the camouflage patches is correct. The only thing that needed improvement was making notches on the mask in places of bubbles / bulges on the model which I masked with Tamiya tape and maskol. In the rounded areas where the mask may not adhere or may have a tendency to peel off (it happens to me during painting) I also used Tamiya tape to glue the mask to the model. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks to the mask the camouflage was done in a very short time. The only drawback is that I didn't pay attention to the plate and that's where the paint came off, fortunately only in the recesses of the flaps and on the right wing. So the corrections will not be visible. And the masks will be permanently in my workshop. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 I made masks for painting the rims from tape. Tires are now ready painted and dirty. By the way I made few small details. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriss Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 A series of photos of painting with masks from the kit as well as the strip on the fuselage made with tape. The masks did not fit well on the canvas surfaces and next time I will replace them with the ones I made myself using tape. Now all I have to do is to lay the tracing paper and put everything together. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortCummins Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 painted marking are so much better than decals 👍 I always try to find a Montex set for whatever I build, I'm very tempted to get a plotter and be able to make my own. rgds John(shortCummins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
