spanner's Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk 1..Now with wheels!

[spanner570]

Thanks Ian.
I've jumped back to this build wholly refreshed!

I've brushed on a final coat of green and marked out the camouflage lines, then added a 'B' where the brown is to go. Otherwise I'm sure to forget and paint the wrong segment!.... :upside:





The colour looks a bit cob because the sun was being awkward and I wanted the demarcation lines reflecting in the photo!

Next up will be the brown.

Cheers.

Ron,
Looking mighty fine, and a great lesson in brush painting.

Hi Ron
Just keep saying B=brown or I can see a Hurricane with blue patches ........ or maybe black or beige or buff or bronze :smiling4:

This is looking really good, the kit's gone together nicely and the paint looks really good so far

Do you erase the pencil lines Ron, or does the paint cover them?

Hi Pete. the paint does indeed cover the pencil marks. Never use anything else to mark lines etc., you will never hide the lines if you do......

Thanks Ron. I've only ever used the secondary colour, thinned till it's almost a wash, but a pencil is a lot simpler!

The weather is s***, so I'm forced indoors.

I've brushed on the first coat of brown paint.

See how with just one thin coat the pencil lines guide lines and the 'B's' are all but obliterated...... :thumb2:

I don't carefully follow the lines when applying the paint. There is not enough time for such nonsense. I just use them as a guide line - Get the paint on quickly and cover the lines up as best you can!






Now I've laid down the brown, and can properly see where the demarcation lines are, the next coat should be a bit easier to apply.

Cheers.
Ron

Coming along well.

[spanner570]

Thanks for your support and comments Ralph.

Here is the final brown coat of paint. Try and follow the first coat lines, but it doesn't matter if you wander off course a titchy bit - I do!.... :upside:







Next up I'll inspect and fill in the fine detail where I've either missed or gone over summat. Particularly the leading edge of the main wing.

Cheers.
Ron

looking very good Ron!
When I were a lad...... I used to stipple the edges to simulate the sprayed effect, but you would have to do some brush sacrifice for that,and if you've only got the one...:thinking:
