    Completed...spanner's 1/72 Arma Hobby Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 - 'Murfie'

    Polish 303 Sqn. Hurricane 1940.

    Superb kit. This is the 'Standard' version, available with no P.E.

    All brush painted freehand using Vallejo Air acrylics. Just a bit of dirt to weather it a bit and a bit of scratching with a safety pin.

    I don't much like the usual heavy, accentuated and uniform panel lines. I go over mine last job with a sharp pencil. Then rubbed in with my finger. This gives me a nice subtle line with a 'hit and miss', and let natural light/shadows do the rest for me...To each his own though, eh!

                  Thank you chaps
                  ....and a special thanks to Murfie, without who's 'contribution', this build would never have happened and I would probably still be in complete ignorance as to just how good these kits are.

                  Thanks to Colin for suggesting, and keeping this G.B. in order.

                  Cheers all.
                  Ron

                    And while I knew their quality was good, I'd never actually built one so after watching your effort, Ron, I've just ordered a replacement to have a go myself. The later Wildcat/Martlet looks just as impressive.

                        Hi Ron
                        That's a great result. I don't recall seeing another Arma Hobby kit built but certainly a make to look out for.

                          Very nice result. 'Generic' buildings 1A add a nice atmosphere.
