Popular Post Andrés S. Posted January 17 Popular Post Posted January 17 (edited) Hi all. I started the first model of this year in December 2023: Hurricane MK I 1/72 scale from Arma Hobby. Overall I thought it was a very good kit, however, and although the cockpit is very detailed, I thought that the assembly of the different pieces was complicated. And even after painting the entire model, once the panel lines were marked, I noticed that the lines on the top were somewhat thicker than those on the bottom. But overall it is a very detailed kit with a very good fit between pieces. The decals, from Techmod, seemed very good to me, well printed and with a good grip on the surface of the model, although somewhat hard and for which I had to use more adapter liquid than I usually do. As extras to the kit I used a reflector sight offered by Quickbost and the figure of an RAF pilot from White Storck Miniatures whose good and very fine detail exceeds the painting skills of this humble modeler. Both extras are highly recommended. I have another Hurricane from Arma Hobby, the MK IIc also in 1/72 scale. I'm sure it won't be long before I open the box... Without further ado, I'd like to thank all the forum members who followed the build of this model. I would like to expressly thank NZThyphoon for his kind help in providing information on the colours I should use for the pilot figure, providing photographs of inestimable importance. Below are photos of the finished model. If you are interested in seeing the build process you can do so at the following link. Andrés. Edited January 17 by Andrés S. 77 16 4
Luka Posted January 17 Posted January 17 This has got to be one of the sharpest looking Arma Hurricanes I have ever seen on this forum, and there are many! Very impressive little build. Also love the presentation with the base and the pilot figure! 2 1 2
Vultures1 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 That's really lovely work. I think the finish and weathering look spot on for a combat aircraft. Nice presentation too! Well done 👍 1
alex_stela Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Masterpiece, Andrés! It looks like it's in 1:48! And the weathering is absolutely stunning! Great job! 1

I'm certainly happy with the result I got with the model, but not so much with the figure. Painting figures is not my thing and sometimes I get what I want and other times I don't, and I really don't know why. 1 hour ago, François Escudé said: Hola Andrés ! what a wonderful build again !
