Finished - Airfix Sea Hurricane mkIIc 1/72

[yak face]

Heres the Airfix sea hurricane mkiic finished . A neat kit , not overly detailed but very trouble free to build and it looks every inch a Hurricane . The only additions were a bigger propeller from the spares box as the kit one is quite undersize , and a replacement aerial . Thanks for looking -comments ,criticisms ,observations , questions ,groundless insults, postal orders ,cash ,cheque and green shield stamps welcome
Cheers tony

Hi Tony
What a great result. I don't think I've ever seen a Hurricane with that paint job.

Lovely job Tony. The finish belies it’s small size

 

[Jakko]

I like it, the paint scheme is interesting and the weathering looks the part, especially the exhaust stain.

Cheers jim , the paint scheme was used on all 6 of HMS Narainas hurricanes , the flying commander thought it would give better camouflage against the white atlantic clouds, and the success of the aircraft seemed to confirm his decision.

Why do you always slip these fantastic wing thingy builds in under my radar Tony??? This thing is beautiful in both finish and the weathering. I guess I have to stop sleeping at the table and pay more attention here. Really one to be proud of Sir!!!

Prost

Have to agree with all the others.
I love the colours on this as well it's always nice when something different pops up.
And a great finish too.

These little 1/72 Airfix offerings make up into great models and this is a prime example.

Excellent build, mucker!

Cracking build mate.

 

[Gern]

You only started this 5 minutes ago! How come you got such a gem in such a short time?

 

[rtfoe]

Very unique and unusual paint scheme for a Hurri Tony and very nice indeed.

Cheers,
Richard

That is Bob on old boy. As mentioned above it certainly looks a lot bigger than 1:72

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Definitely a "different" paint job... And looks all the better for it IMHO,
SUPERB stuff there Tony,love it
