CraigC Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Here is the antagonist to my Hurricane. Certainly a much easier kit to assemble than the PCM. Its ready for primer and painting and the final assembly. I used HGW seatbelts and Master MG15 barrels. It has also been sitting around for a while, I ran out of steam masking the canopy !!

CraigC Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 The primer is down what a lot. Hats off to those painting the B17's and Lancaster's. I think a small spray gun would be necessary. Pretty happy with the result. I ran out of grey so used some black on the bottom which will provide a nice contrast for the light blue underside.

CraigC Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Only a little filler added. The hurricane has been getting the love. We have a holiday weekend coming up so hope to get some paint on the underside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigC Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have started masking for the insignia. The nose are is also painted. The right underside is looking good.. The right underside has a strange problem. The paint failed to dry in a corner. The sticky mess then took off all the previous layers when wiped. It all started with a clumsy finger print and ended up like this. Its going to need sanding before reapplying the paint. I am not really sure what happened as the surfaces were good and the same mix was used for the entire model. .

CraigC Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 The smudged gooey mess is evident on the masking tape to the right the black was the primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigC Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 The Markings are finished. The stencils were quite fiddly some having thin outlines, particularly the swastika. BradG, Rockie Yarwood, Landrotten Highlander and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigC Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Nearly done with the camo masking. It's much more time consuming than I thought it would be. LSP_Kevin, BradG, MikeMaben and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigC Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 A lot of masking , a little painting and bamm !! Really happy with the painted nose art and swastikas. A little more painting on the flaps and airbrakes, some touch up and the paint is done. I have some WD40 to clean the mask residue from the clear parts.

CraigC Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 The decals are not behaving even with Microsol &Set, not surprising considering their age. Is there anything that can be done? I haven't been able to locate any new alternatives. BradG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
