Hawker Hurricanes around the World: Turkish Air Force Mk IIc

[ModelingEdmontonian]

This is the 14th installment in my Hawker Hurricanes around the world project, an Mk IIc built from the Mistercraft kit (originally from Heller). Mostly OOB, although some of the underside pieces were taken from other kits (trop filter from Arma Mk II, radiator from AZ Mk IV [which includes the Mk II unarmoured radiator], and wheels and doors from Airfix Mk I). The decals are from Kits World and some stencils (and that ugly underside ID "light") from Revell. Originally I looked at the kit with some disdain (it certainly isn't Arma!), but in the end I really enjoyed building it. I am definitely not an excellent brush painter on my good days, but with this one I really struggled. The underside was alright (that's Vallejo's azure blue), but on top the complement to the Middlestone (Tamiya XF-59) is Tamiya Dark Earth (XF-52), and it went on badly and gloop-ily. Got it to somewhere I can live with, however, and all told happy with another interesting Hawker Hurricane!

 

 

I completed a ML-KNIL Mk IIb around the same time and here they are together--I'll post an RFI for the Dutch 'cane soon!

Very nice work.

I remember The Heller kit as a good build.

I really like how the Turkish build came out!  If I ever get around to doing a Hurricane, I think you've inspired me to do this version! Very nice work.

Nice work on the old Heller, I admire your project, looking forward to more !
