Airfix new-tool 1/72 Hurricane IId- COMPLETED
« on: October 11, 2011, 12:04:47 PM »
Hi everyone!

This is Airfix's new-tool 1/72 Hurricane Mk. IIc, converted to a IId using 3D-Kits conversion set. This is a nice kit to build, no problems at all in assembly. It's painted with Xtracrylix paints for the Azure Blue and Middlestone, and Gunze acrylics for the Dark Earth.

I really like the 3D-Kits conversion sets. This is the second one I've used, and they are really nice.

Hope you like!

:D

Nice looking hurricane.I can see that the panel lines are a little too deep.Too bad becouse they make the model look a little toy like.

I'm not sure, actually, as I've not built the old one. Mike Grant told me he thought the older one was a better kit overall. I take a pretty simple approach- I just build kits and don't worry about the details! :D

They are rather deep and wide, I'll admit. Still, I've built several of Airfix's new tools (Spitfires, the new Hawk, and this Hurricane) and the rest of the build is so nice, I just sort of ignore the panel lines. I do wish they would reduce them a bit. I actually prefer them deeper rather than shallow, but something a bit more petite would be nice.

Still- as long as they keep putting out nice kits at a reasonable price, I'll keep building them!

Well done! Your "just build kits" theory is a great one. :-ok

Desert Air Force Hurricanes were flying many, many missions during the time my dad was in North Africa so I especially appreciate this scheme.

Thanks!

That is probably my favorite scheme to do. Something about the colors, and the possibility for extreme weathering just really make that a favorite of mine.
