pacificmustang Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 G'Day All Certainly not the easiest model, but Im glad she's now done and residing on my shelf! I've always liked the Tankbuster Hurricane ever since seeing the ancient Monogram kit built to a high standard during my early teens. The model was built pretty well out of the box, although I replaced the cannons with brass tubing. The fit wasn't tooooo bad, but you need to ensure that the casting block is completely removed from the resin wheelbay. Even then there was still some sanding and filling required. All markings were painted on using home made masks from a mate. Stencils were also painted using masks from 1 man Army. Paints were by SMS A fuller description of the build can be found by following the link in my signature block. Roll on the forthcoming Revell Hurricane IIb! Thanks for Looking Bruce 55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRK Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Looks great, know what you mean about the iid, think they look the business. I’m on with the hasegawa 1/48 kit now. I’ve spotted that this only has a landing light on the port wing, my kit has both- which is correct!??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note, they just supply a C wing, you need to fill a couple of panels and adjust the underwing a bit, the Fly kit provides a new wing. see here https://flic.kr/p/Wc69cX Just now, GRK said: I’ve spotted that this only has a landing light on the port wing, my kit has both- which is correct!??? Varies. They were supplied with light blanking plates. Sometimes one, sometimes both. May depend on what scheme. There are other apart from BP188... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235071194-hurricane-iid-6-squadron-leading-edge-wing-stripe-and-some-marking-observations/ Very neat work on the Fly kit Bruce, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re doing JV o Z from the Hasegawa kit , yes, Port only light is correct Bruce Edited July 7, 2022 by pacificmustang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
