Airfix 1/24 Hurricane. An oldie but a goody!

This has been a nice fun cheap build. It is built straight from the box. The only things i added were basic belts cur from a brown envelope , Airscale instruments that i had laying around and a partial Aveaology sheet. I say partially as i was too heavy handed with them and ruined them. The only ones ledt were the "ZWEI" under the cockpit and the serials. The roundels are from the kit and the codes i masked and airbrushed on. Weathering has been kept to a bare minimum with only exhaust and gun stains airbrushed on. Took just over a week and the actual kit was only 25 quid , so its been a great build. So much less stress than adding extra detail. Mosquito and Spitfire next for the 1/24 collection!

A week to build it... That's awesome.

Great job on the old Airfix kit.

A week to build ! Crikey, I couldn't even build a 1/72 Hurricane in that time and getting it as good as that ! Thanks for sharing.

Bear in mind i didnt build the engine and engine bay internals. That sped things up alot. That coupled with the determination to actually finish one!

 

I will take some more photos using a real camera instead of my phone!

A week??? 

 

Whoa, settle down boy.

 

Great job on that kit. I remember when that was the cat's meow.

Heres some more. I really didnt want that fantastic little Merlin to go to waste , so it will be painted up and sit alongside the Hurricane.

Thanks for the additional photos, Andrew. It appears there's enough to publish on the website now, if you'd permit me.
