Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk 1

Used the supplied decal for the instrument panel.... a bit messy, but its burried deep in the cockpit so its barely visible.

A small amount of filling and a little sanding but otherwise the fit was ok.... more pix to follow ..

Nice start Pete.

looks good

As mentioned earlier, just a little filling otherwise it went together pretty well.

a little sanding to do, esecially over the filled low spots, then she'll be ready for undercoat

cheers

Looking good mate, and a bonus with the instrument decal - the original issue of the kit didn't have one!

 

[T Bolt]

Looks real good!

 

[rochie]

looks great hope mine fits together as well when the time comes

 

[Wayne Little]

doin' a good job mate!

 

[Crimea_River]

Agreed.

 

[Peebs]

finally found some time to post an update!!!

I decanted some auto primer surfacer from a can and thinned it out for the undercoat...

the underside is Gunze Aqueous 31 White Green, which according to the paint matching site is the equivalent of the humbrol 90 beige green called for in the instructions..

Hopefully get a chance to make a start on masking the canopy tonight

cheers

Moving along nicely Pete

 

[Wayne Little]

Agreed!

 

[Lucky13]

Looking great mate!

 

[Airframes]

Looking good mate. I presume the colour is the equivalent to 'Sky'.

 

[B-17engineer]

Good work man!

 

[Peebs]

Been on a bit of a go slow, been busy with life in general, however I did manage to find a few spare minutes so i've painted the prop.....

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks good, but should the yellow tips have the angle you have done....always thought they were square and much shorter on the tip?

 

[Crimea_River]

Yup, that's a new scheme to me but I'm always open to being enlightened.

 

[Peebs]

Hmmmmm I followed the instructions......

 

[Peebs]

I'm expecting this to arrive anytime now, quite possibly tomorrow, may shed some more light on the subject. Mind at this stage I trust you guys over the instructions!
