I'll be doing everything out of the box. The decals are No.87 squadron August 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 If I'm going to get this finished I need to pull finger. A quick camo mask and spray over the last day. The paint is Tamiya acrylic dark green and a mix of Tamiya flat earth and khaki for the brown. Next up a gloss coat, detail painting, and decals (of which there are very few ).

Nice looking camo job Grant. I am sure you will complete the build! Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Looking the biz Grant! I think you are going to make the deadline! Ernest Grant_T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant_T Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Well, its the 30th here, so I must be finished. Airfix 1/24 Hurricane straight out of the box. Funny kit, a but quite crude in many ways. Some of the fit is imprecise and parts are oversized/funny looking. Glad to have another one done though. See you for the next group build!

You made it Grant! Very sharp looking Hurricane Mk.I and cool idea using a turntable to display it on! Looks like your model is the final one completed for this group build. I have considered buying this kit several times over the years, but after the amount of work a put in the PCM Hurricane Mk.I to get a decent looking result, I think I will wait for a new tool of this aircraft in 1/24 scale.

Hi Ernest, thanks. I think you are right in waiting. This kit took so much time in filling etc., that I lost energy and time at the end. I think the Trumpeter 1/24 Mk.IIc Hurricanes are a big step up from this. I might add one to the stash (I always preferred the Mk.IIc anyway).
