Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hurricane MK1

[Alan 45]

The Stuka was a deadly and greatly feared weapon.It was only withdrawn from the Battle of Britain because it faced determined fighter opposition for the first time.It was very effective during the Blitzkreig of France and the Low Countries .Also against Russia and in the Mediterranean.If you build all the 1/24 Airfix kits I would beware of the Spitfire.A lot of the ones I've seen built have got the wing dihedral wrong.The wings look flat when viewed from the front.I haven't built one but it looks like it needs a bit of work to get the wings right.Peter Airfix's recent build is one of the better ones I've seen.

I will leave the spit until last dave as I'm not really a fan but the next one on the list is the 109

Looking good so far Alan nice cockpit work, nice job on the gun bays and that fuselage is coming together very nicely, i'd say you have tamed this one.

I have been looking at your problem with the twisted parts and my spit it probly because they use a softer plastic but as my hurricane was an early 70s kit the plastic was more ridgid.

Peter I thought the same with the hurry , i had to put the landing gear bay into hot water to get it into the proper shape so i know what you mean .

Thanks to everyone for enjoying this build I appreciate them

[Polux]

Wow! Wow!!

Looking very well painted and the lines are very visible.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Polux I'm pleased you like it , it took me an hour to pin wash the lines and another hour to dry rush out the overspill next up is the other side I'm just glad there isn't so many lines on that side
