Drunax Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Great! I think this is going to be a fantastic build, and a new Hurri in this scale was needed. Of course, It happened before I could finish my old Revell Hurricane, that is still somewhere on my bench, with A LOT of scratchbuilding, but this thread is pushing me again...

Borsos Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It’s really great to be able to follow you through this build. I am thinking about converting my Hurricane into a Mk. I. best regards, Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore complex as the cockpit is (the wheel wells is not far behind ), it’s made easy by the ingenious design of the kit. No need for adjustment or guessing. Everything clicks with a positive alignment So this kit is everything the PCM kit isn't. I'm currently finishing the PCM I started a number of years ago (don't ask) and I'd bet you finish before me anyway. Sounds like you're having fun at any rate dennismcc and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 14 hours ago, mozart said: I have a partially completed, probably better described as partially started original Revell Hurricane where I attempted to follow Radu’s epic build using some resin parts designed I believe by him from (possibly) Grey Matters Figures…..the wheel wells in particular were a challenge. I can feel your pain, old chap! On the other hand, here’s the result of 1-2 hour hard work dealing with the plastic parts provided in the Revell kit. For the sake of my own vanity, I added the plumbing of the air bottle from wire. Proof that Revell can do dome rivets whenever they want. The wheel wells serve as an anchor to the landing gear (normal) and also of the wing dihedral (critical). The great number of attachment points assure that you get the right angle and adjustment. Surprisingly the back plate is also detailed although it won’t be visible in final. But then who am I to say? Front part in situ will cover part of your hard work! The whole assembly is given a light coat of Mr.Surfacer 1200 and ready to be painted in 2023. Until then, Cheers, Quang KiwiZac, Paul in Napier, Fanes and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Great news, looks like we have a Tamiya kit at Revell prices, this makes me want to build it now but I will resist, I must finish the PCM kits on my list first.

KiwiZac Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I'm loving your work so far Quang - and I'm deeply jealous! I think I need one of these in my life. quang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the air bottle a seperate part ? I've never seen that stencil applied to a bottle before but I don't think I've ever seen a wartime photo of a Hurricane LG bay either.

Greif8 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 You are really doing a great job here Quang! This looks like a very nice kit indeed. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 It’s a nice kit indeed Ernest with accurately- shaped and reasonably detailed yet with plenty of scope for those modellers who are willing to go the extra mile. Greif8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 It looks very nice indeed Quang. A bit of a shame Revell didn't add the rivets on the wings an fuselage, but perhaps HGW will come to the rescue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Indeed Hans. The one thing this kit needs to be perfect is definitely the dome rivet skinning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
