    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Thought I'd reduce the size of the cooling vanes as previously they looked the same size as the fairing. Chucked it in my drill and used it like a lathe cutting it with files and a blade. Looking slightly better but not perfect...acceptable enough for me. Cheers, Wabble

    Initial puttying for the cooling vanes look pretty rough and over scaled but sanding and extending the barrel tip has made it a little better... Now it's only to fit it into the pre drilled holes and I can proceed with painting the primer and pre shading. Cheers, Wabble

    Today I started on the Hispano cannons and drilled the wing edges to fit it in. A little more work is needed to make the cooling vanes on the barrels from putty. The barrels are plastic rod and the fairings are from cutip handles. Cheers, Wabble

    Thank you both Andreas and Jim, I hope your confidence in my ability turns out something respectable.:smiling6: As it is most of it is eyeballing from references and guess measurements. I just couldn't leave a MkI as the owner showed me his reference of a MkIIc in the camo that he liked so I...

    Today I've cut to shape the prop blade extensions and dry fitted it to the spinner. Looks close enough so will go ahead with the puttying... Left it a little broad to take up any excessive sanding. Cheers, Wabble

    I have commenced with the prop modification gluing plastic strip to support the putty that will be spread on... This is the back. I will draw the shape and cut off the excess then spread the putty and sand when cured. Cheers, Wabble

    Thanks and yes Tony, it's a fine kit but only wished it was a MkII. Anyways I've puttied the chin scoop but have sanded it a little too rounded at the edges. From references it is a little boxy with more straight sides. The spinner was not that difficult to modify... I will re-putty the edges...

    Bombs Away

    Apologies for taking so long to put up these images of my completed diorama which fetched a good at the recent MALCOM competition in Penang. Just slightly within over two months from conception to completion was this done and is a record for me. The ones that took me years weren't successful...

    It may look like that Paul but it still gives me the shivers attempting these scratches every time. It's always never a repeat so it's a new plan of approach and figuring out the best method. Today I fixed rough cuts of plastic card for ribbing, about five in a row and snipped the access off...

    Hi, All closed up and fitted the chin extension spine. I'll be adding the ribs later... There are some gaps to fill in the wing roots and tail... Ribbing and puttying up next... Cheers, Wabble

    Hi, found time today to paint up the cockpit interior before closing it up. Have yet to fit simple seatbelts with masking tape and wire. Cheers, Wabble

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Hi, I was given this kit of the MkI but was commissioned to paint it up following a magazine cover and that plane was a MkIIc with hispano cannons and a tropical chin air scoop. So I thought I'd do a little modification even if it isn't that accurate because I couldn't leave it at that. First...

    Richards Hurricane Airfix 1/72 GB build

    Hi, I hope I'm not too late as I had to finish my competition diorama before continuing this commissioned build. Good thing there was no deadline attached to it so I could fit it in this schedule. At first I didn't bother taking shots of the sprue as Tony had the same build but on reading the...
