matto21 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi all, Only took 7 years to finish this! Started originally just after the kit was released and worked on in fits and starts ever since. For some reason I just never had the motivation to finish it until now.

neil5208 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Worth the wait, an early scheme? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Whoa. I could have built dozens in seven years and never got any result as good as that. Superbly done. Regards Peete 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual markings are a 'profile special' as in no-one has seen the source photo for this airframe, but there were certainly Hurricane painted like this discussion on this here this is @matto21 build, for those interested in the WIP That's scrubbed up very well Matt! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertTheBear Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Looks awesome! Good thing your motivation came back, would be a shame to store it unfinished forever somewhere or even get rid of it altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 It is a wonderful build of the Airfix kit. And, I have never seen a Hurricane in this scheme before. It looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
