Beauty. Those paints came in the set?

 

[Crimea_River]

I do like those colours.

 

[T Bolt]

Very nice paint work

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

 

[Bustedwing]

The paints I used are still the Model Master enamels. The War Dept and I went on a Safari into Vancouver yesterday to the Hobby store at YVR for more paint. RLM 70 discontinued ? I may be switching to acrylics sooner than later.

 

[Crimea_River]

That explains it. I liked the MM colours when I used them years ago..

 

[Bustedwing]

On the subject of colours. I found this while poking around. It's part of a decal set of which brand I don't know but it shows the identical paint scheme as the kit. So who stole it from who if it never really existed ? I still think it looks pretty dam slick and I'm sticking to it. The only difference is the kit has the elevators yellow as well which I thought a bit odd but I did them in yellow any ways.

 

[Crimea_River]

It does look cool. I'd suggest that it's quite common, unfortunately, for model and accessory companies to market products of questionable historic accuracy. I don't have any sound knowledge to refute the yellow cowl thing and would defer to experts. However, I do know that the Hurricane Mk IIc did not fight in the BoB! (See here)

 

[Bustedwing]

They definitely weren't shooting down Buchons either ! Thanks.

 

[Bustedwing]

Decalmania ! Of course I fumbled a couple of decals, and of course they were "one of" decals. Fortunately I have another kit so I swiped them from it. Going to build the other version that the kit depicts. Some progress pics.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice!

 

[SANCER]

Wow, looks great!

 

[fubar57]

Agreed

 

[Bustedwing]

Thanks. It's been a great kit to build. I have another one of the same kit and I've been thinking of building it, though another version for this Group Build. See what happens over the next few days I'll have a better idea of how much time I'll have to hide in my cell in the basement !
