LSP_Kevin Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 Super work, Iain! Reminds me of some aborted Hurricane projects of my own. Kev Iain 1
Iain Posted October 25, 2020 Author Posted October 25, 2020 After drilling out all the cowl fasteners, and replacing some missing ones, the windshield frame was sprayed interior Grey-Green from outside and allowed to dry, before a couple of thin coats of Halfords grey primer (rattle can made for the automotive market). Always a nerve wracking moment when you're not sure what it will show up that needs fixing, especially on a fairly crude set of mouldings and a fair amount of modification. Happy with outcome so far - a few tweaks and we can paint her up... Have fun! Iain Rockie Yarwood, Trak-Tor, florin13 and 16 others 19
mozart Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 A clean machine Iain! Looking forward to the paint sessions!
Iain Posted November 15, 2020 Author Posted November 15, 2020 In further adventures of 'How Slowly Can Iain Build A Model': most of the airframe looks surprisingly good under the primer - but I wasn't happy with the already thinned trailing edges of the wing - so it's out with files, sanding sticks and wet and dry paper to rectify/improve: Blue Skies!

fastterry Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 One thing that makes models look like models is thick trailing edges. It's definitely worth the extra effort to make them as thin as possible and that goes for prop blades as well (the thinning I mean). TRF
Marcin_Matejko Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) You're building a fantastic model Edited November 17, 2020 by Marcin_Matejko Rockie Yarwood 1
monthebiff Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Very nice progress Iain, not an easy build but very rewarding and one of my favourite kits I've built. I have the rag wing to build as well at some point. Regards. Andy
Troy Molitor Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Looking forward to seeing your magic on the Hurricane Iain.
Iain Posted December 22, 2020 Author Posted December 22, 2020 Finally got some real paint on the Hurricane - the underside Sky. Has had a night on top of the boiler in the airing cupboard - so should be ready for some masking and Dark Earth later today... Tally Ho! Iain Uncarina, scvrobeson, sandokan and 8 others 11
Pete Roberts Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Excellent! If you are doing YB-E, you'll need to crop those props! Iain 1

Iain Posted January 16, 2022 Author Posted January 16, 2022 Just realised I haven't updated this thread in ages. On 12/22/2020 at 9:05 PM, Pete Roberts said: Excellent! If you are doing YB-E, you'll need to crop those props! Affirm Pete - props cropped! Top camouflage is now on - and roundels added. Drawing up masks for the squadron codes now. Looks like a B of B Hurricane now, will try and get some update images on here later today... These kits are a good likeness overall to the Hurricane - they just take quite a lot of work to get there! Blue Skies, Iain dennismcc, LSP_Kevin, Kagemusha and 1 other 4
