mpk Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thanks Gaz. I broke the wing off again earlier. It's the model that doesn't want to be built. Happily I was able to repair it until next time. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been clear coating it with my Infinity with a .2 needle nozzle set. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Unless you repainted the whole plane again , there is no sign of a blend around that spine , you also seem to have saved the seriels .... I have had much less success myself trying to go over paint for making repairs before , rarely get the same coluortone twice. Wheels on and RFI soon hopefully mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Oh no, I was thinking Riefield armour. I never was the sharpest knife in the drawer. And it keeps getting worse. My memory is deteriorating rapidly. Too many chemicals have destroyed my brain. It can be seen on scans. I wonder how long I've got.

mpk Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Hi guys. Using my collection of 1138 photos of Hurricanes as reference, I spent the weekend weathering my BoB Mk.I. A number of photos of BoB era Hurricanes show very heavy weathering all over the metal areas, predominantly the inner wing area, and also stretching out to the mid and outer wing. Not only are many heavily affected by scuff marks from shoes, but also show staining from fluid streaking from the engine cowlings and adjacent panels behind the engine. 303 Sqn Hurricane photos show gun soot flowing further back across the wing than I'd guessed. The belly had me guessing and I screwed up quite a few weathering attempts before becoming happy with my result. I added pin washes, chalk etc and removed them all. I started random ideas I'd never heard of and forget exactly how I got to this point. I think I'm happy with it........... So anyway... I now have to repaint the wheel wells, weather the undercarriage and canopy, find where I placed all the rest of the bits, and complete it. Thanks for having a look.
