AliGauld Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 As soon as this landed on the doormat I knew it wouldn't be long before I had a crack at it. I mean it's an Arma Hobby Hurricane. Even better it's a Sea Hurricane. On with some pics. I'll be doing one of the Yellow Tails that was involved in Operation Pedestal. I'm just not sure which one yet. Plastic to be butchered starting tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procopius Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If there's one thing I associate Sea Hurricanes with, it's...New Jersey? 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I'm in! It just has to be a Pedestal scheme, doesn't it? Looking forward to seeing your progress - it's high time I had another crack at an Arma Hurry so I'll be following closely!

Ah, the moment you said that, I knew instantly which Dylan song it was, despite having never heard it, or any song by him aside from All Along the Watchtower. FWIW, I have an uncle who lived in New Jersey for many years; like about half the people in the state, he worked in New York (so do the other half, but in organised crime). I remember it principally consisting of highway overpasses. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember it principally consisting of highway overpasses. My impression is much the same but that mainly comes from the opening titles to "The Sopranos" in saying that on my last trip to NYC we took the train out to Redbank to go to The Stash and it seemed mainly to be salt marshes and not much else. 5 minutes ago, 2996 Victor said: No you won't - it'll be a breeze for a fella of your calibre! They're great kits, as Edward can confirm. Cheers, Mark I'm looking forward to it as I've done other versions of their Hurricanes before and their Mustang is one of the finest kits I've built. This is Mr. Heavy-handed here we're talking about. If I don't stuff something up on a build then something serious has gone wrong.

Ngantek Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Oh yes, can't wait to see what you make of this one. I grabbed one the very yocto second they hit UK shores (despite already having the 'navy colours' boxing that I was going to be-hook-ify somehow). Yellow tail Pedestal sounds about perfect (although I seem to recall, in persuing the instructions, that accounts for about 8 out of the 5 schemes). Anyway, chop chop, and show me how to carve up the aft fuselage, there's a good chap Andy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the Eduard reboxing too. I'm looking forward to this one but more surgery. What was I thinking. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe. Simon. Glad to have you along for the journey. Simon. No point in hanging about then. And certainly no going back now. And a quick dry fit. Some minor fettling required but that will do and that's the scary bit out of the way. Once my hands stop shaking and my eyes stop birlin' I'll get some more plastic cut and get on with it.
