IainM Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Here are some in-progress images of the Hurricane. I cut masks for the fuselage code and national insignia using my Xtradecal set (X32063) I had bought as reference. The dull red was Tamiya lacquer LP18 straight up - great match to the colour on the decal sheet! Blue was Tamiya XF-8 Flat Blue and XF-1 Flat Black in a ratio of around 3:1 to match the colour on the decal sheet. The yellow was AK RLM04 with a touch of a brighter yellow to match the sheet and the white was Insignia White with a touch of Off-White. Stencils are from HGW, which were applied after a coat of AquaGloss over the paint - hence the reflectivity in the images.... I also discovered a way of getting rid of the glue residue from the HGW transfers - Mr Softer! Always had an issue trying to get completely rid of the residue just using water, but this time I brushed Mr Softer over the glue residue, quick wipe with a soft cloth, and gone! patricksparks, Rick Griewski, Model_Monkey and 21 others 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Looks great. Can't get much more accurate than painted on markings. I'll have to remember LP-18 for a future British project. Matt IainM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
