kit airfix Hurricane

I hope the late entry is ok. I should be able to get it done quick. I'm going to do this kit as Bader's LED v7467. Years ago I did the old Airfix 1/72 Hurricane as Willie McKnight's LEA, and this will complement it nicely. My build will be wheels up with some aftermarket decals.

Here's the updates for last week




the bottom surfaces are airbrushed polyscale sky


bottom surfaces are masked using tamiya tape


top surfaces painted polyscale dark earth





some Walters magic masker is applied , preparing for the green pattern A


magic masker has been removed, time for touch ups.
 
I had to do a fair amount of touch ups. I had some paint flowing , rough edges and lost some paint removing the magic masker, At first I was quite disapointed but all those years of hand painting , and a very fine brush saved me. This is only the third or forth time I have airbrushed.
