1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane

[Paulw]

I actually started this a while back on Old dogs and dollar 98 buddy build.

It mostly fits pretty well but the pit really sucks. so this is how far I got.

Very nice. The tripod you made looks very cool. Cant see much of the engine or gun bays, are they detailed better than the cockpit? I havent seen one of these built before, but it intrigues me a bit. What markings are you thinking about? WOW thats a lot of question

Thanks guys. I really cant say as to what I will do because they are all pretty generic really. I do have one in mind though so it will be a bit of a surprise in the end.

OK. I have got most of it together and it looks as if it may become one of my better builds. One only hopes.
There is something about Hawker planes that trips my trigger. I guess its because they look the part of a war plane, Just like the P-47.

I hear you Paul on the Hurricane. Even thought the Spitfire was the darling, the Hurricane was the true work horse of the BoB. It was also a better gun platform. Looking good

I put some color to it these last couple of days. The missing color on the nose is supposed to be something else so stand by to stand by.


I think it should be complete this week some time unless something else draws my attention away.

How's this?

 

[Paulw]

I finished the camo scheme tonight and all that's left are just a few touch ups. This is from the 213 sqdn 1944, North Africa. I don't have any particulars about this except that they did this to mimic the Italian camo scheme. AK@G are the code letters if any one is interested. I also could use some suggestions for sun bleaching for this scheme or these colors.

The insides weren't really done well and some parts fell into the deep recesses of the fuse and permanently glued themselves into position... It is a new scheme for me as well. I think I(ll be done with this some time this coming week.

Aha, I have seen this after all . Odd bird... But great choice

Very interesting. As for fading I'm not sure. I think adding a bit of yellow to the brown would give a faded look, and then misting it on 90% thinner. But try it on a scrap first, wouldnt like to see this one ruined. Anyone else more knowledgeable able to offer a better suggestion?
