    Nick's Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane IIC for the Paint it Black Group Build.

    Here she is all done. A lovely kit that certainly deserved better than my wingy-thing skills can manage. Went together very easily and would have been nicer if I hadn't dropped the gunsight down into the fuselage when trying to fit it. Its still stuck in the bowels there somewhere..... Paint was a mix of Tamiya, SMS and Real Colour, finished off with a coat of VMS satin. Very few decals to mess up although they performed very well on the raised detail on the wings. Thanks to Ian for getting this Group Build up and running and to all who took the time to follow along and comment along the way.

    Anyway, here are the pics........

    Fantastic result Nick. Black isn't the easiest shade to deal with, but you've achieved excellent variation and weathering

      Cheers Joe. This has certainly given me a bit more confidence to tackle another all-black finish.
