mpk Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Approximately 4 years ago I bought this kit. Upon receiving it I threw this together to see how it looked. I noted in the thread leading to this GB, a Sopwith Camel which had a similar history. As a result I am adding this model to the Air Superiority GB. On a whim I dub this out of the very bottom of a large stack of models and went to work. I had the best time ever! What a great kit! This build with be, with the exception of decals, OOB. This is where I left it last night. I set my alarm to 5.30 AM. just so I could begin early. It is now 6.52 am and I am working on it. In the past I have doubted my ability to complete a model. Having just built 5 armour projects, I feel 100 % confident my two builds will be completed on time. coogrfan, Landrotten Highlander, Alain Gadbois and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzerwomble Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 She's gonna be a big one looking at her next to the Mig ! Are you going Black / White undersides on this one ? mpk and coogrfan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Nice. Great to see a Hurricane added to this GB. Am I right in thinking you won't be displaying the engine? Having built one of these, I won't when I eventually do the MkIIc I have in my stash as it's ridiculously small and quite inaccurate. Cheers, Michael PS. I like the MiG.

Cheers, Michael PS. I like the MiG. You Sir, are correct. I will use the engine only to hold the propeller. I am enjoying this build so much I am getting a Mk. II. I will go into more detail on my next hurricane. The only extras on this is a pe i.p. and decals. I am using this as a confidence builder. The spitfire will get more love. Thanks guys.

Panzerwomble Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 You've been busy I like the paint job , great modulation , is that a lot of pre shading going on there or some layering going on ? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Thanks mate. I just use a black base and paint over it. I stopped at that point last night, I'm waiting for daylight to check if I need to tone it down. It's 7.00 am now and I plan to work all day. I have changed subject, and it will be Trumpeter decals showing Ian Gleed's BoB hurricane Mk.I (I changed it due to the propeller spinner. Apparently this aircraft was a Gloster built hurricane.) These are the same markings used by Airfix back in the 70's when I built that kit. Hopefully this build will surpass my earlier effort.
