discussion Joe's Under a Tenner 1/72 Revell Sea Hurricane IIC

Construction thread here http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/joes-1-72-revell-sea-hurricane-iic.29363/


Hawker Sea Hurricane IIC NF728. It was serving with an Operational Conversion Unit in 1944 on board HMS Ravager when it was struck by Sea Hurricane IIC NF722 which overran on landing. I have no other information but it could have been written off. The Sea Hurricane OCU not only trained Fleet Air Arm pilots (or those seconded to the RN) in deck operations, but also in the live firing of rocket projectiles and aerial combat.

Great build Joe..rather explicit pics, R18.


The grime streaks are well done and the windscreen looks a good job, I wish I could build aircraft.

In that last pic, you just know the bloke in the overalls is rubbing his chin, sucking his teeth and saying something along the lines of "well Guv, it's going to set you back a bit, bit of a job but I can get my lads on it next week?"


Lovely little build though.

Cheers guys. I was particularly happy with the decal paper cockpit framing, first time I've tried it and it was easier than I thought. Will definitely be using that technique again on some old Airfix kits I have which lack framing for masking.
