Madmonk Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Finished this last night, bought as something to do on the dining room table whilst the rest of the stuff is in boxes till we move next week. New Airfix offering of the MkIIc Hurricane painted and decalled to represent NF672 No 835 Naval Air Squadron, HMS Nairana. Nice kit, goes together well, panel line a bit deep but not too bad, panel detail shown on decal placement drawing does not match kit parts though. Painted using Vallejo paints, main colour off white just to tone it down slightly from pure white. Two coats of Quick Shine (well recommended) decalled and weathered, little bit heavy behind guns on wing. Finally a coat of matt varnish. All done with hairy stick. Hope you like her. Open to comments on the weathering and the canopy is not the best I've painted. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxidad Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Top job. That white scheme really shows off its lines beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I confess to not liking that HMS Nairana scheme to begin with but the more I see of it the more it grows on me & I like the way you've handled it it looks the goods. Is that a Vallejo off white you used or one you did yourself? Its a good idea & suits it well. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Jellyfingers Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Excellent result with brushed white of all colours, my experince with brushing white is best left to toilet walls !! Really nice overall job I rekon, I quite like the heavier weathering as you may notice ! Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Steve, it is Vallejo off White 70820. Basic, just the usual micro sol and set. Thanks for the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Mad, I'll see if my local guy has some, I reckon it would work OK for Coastal Command aircraft too. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
