Sasha As Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hello colleagues! I present to your attention model Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc Trop 1:32 from the manufacturer "Fly".The prototype for the creation of the model served as a Hurricane IIc BP588, RS-X, Sqn/Ldr S.C.Norris, 33 Squadron Royal Air Force, Libya November1942.With the prototype was not determined immediately. There are some nuances, most likely two guns on the prototype, it is not very clear, but probably so. And there is some doubt about the serial number.588 Perhaps this car is a remake of pure D, such was about 200 units, but this story left out. Now for the model itself. rivets, hatches, stripping, the entire exterior is excellent, where needed external rivets on the first wing spar, countersunk. Very detailed and accurate. Only fuselage riveted and added details here and there. This good news ended and began painstaking work. I will say that the fit of all the parts and their place baffled me and I do not understand how the model was designed and built in the test assembly, in general, all requires attention, fitting, accuracy and preferably think ahead, what happens if the kit has resin parts. I was a bit unlucky, the recess turned out to be yielded and somewhat shrunken, about 3mm, two guns crooked, aligned. landing places for the elements of the cabin are not provided well and everything in the same vein on each position of assembly. as the lantern did not become in the open position; made drainage, other technological holes; drainage pistons; extra holes for the early series of aircraft; cabin was very poorly detailed, so that worked on this issue thoroughly; added plastic inserts at the joints of wing and fuselage; stuffed niche and wizened long as it shrunk there to insert, but it worked; finalized undercarriage struts; instrument panel replaced by "yahoo"; slots cut for ejection of shells; thinned edges of planes; newly made landing lights; polished and coated lantern; antenna made; radiators finalized; rear-view mirror; sight, details added; hatches made of foil; many things were cut, added or replaced. It is necessary to note, that decals in model magnificent. Work has borrowed about 3,5 months. The model was built in 2020. I wish everybody pleasant viewing! ivanmoe, Hartmann352, Gazzas and 33 others 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
