Iain Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Finally there - just a couple of lights to add this evening. Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 YB-E, P3673, flown by Sgt (later Sqn Ldr) Desmond Fopp of 17 Squadron, summer 1940 - built for his grandson, who's a best buddy of mine and I've shared a fair few aviation adventures with... Build log here. Colours have gone a little squiffy in some images - don't have time to correct today. Have fun!

Iain Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 Cheers Dennis! Really hoping Chris will like it - a special project and one that's caused just a little head scratching/frustration at times. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jboldt007 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 superior work! Superior masking and such. Nice to see a bit of constrained weathering but just full on with expert livery delivery! love the subtle panel lines. the hurricane is a somewhat unsung hero as we all know - good to see a fine example.

Greif8 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Outstanding work on a fairly tough kit to build Iain! I built the same kit a couple of years ago for the BoB Group Build. You went the extra mile and it shows. Ernest Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thanks for the comments and interest everyone - really appreciated! We can be our own worst critics - and add to that a model made for someone else - plus the fact I haven't actually *finished* anything in last few years - and my modelling 'self-confidence' has been pretty low recently. It feels really good to have something actually finished - and hopefully that'll put a small rocket up my modelling MoJo again... I'll try and get some better pix, with more consistent colour, and post some more here at some point. Iain Kagemusha and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Awww - thanks again for the kind words - really appreciated as always. I've decided that the next project I start *will* be something simple that I can just assemble and paint. Famous last words! Model On dudes!
