Geoffers Arma Hobby 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc

[Geoffers]

It’s all BLACK!!






For anyone unfamiliar with the Fast Show

There were one or two tiny areas of clean up /seam work needed but the fit overall has been excellent.

Mr Surfacer 1500 was my primer of choice.

Camo colours next once it’s dried off properly :smiling4:

Thanks for looking :thumb2:

Geoff, as you are finding out, this kit is top quality.

The one I built on here a while back was a joy to put together too....

Masking, don’t you just love it :rolling:

But how satisfying when you’ve finished painting and you get to take it all off and all is revealed :smiling4:


Classic RAF day fighter scheme, lower fuselage Medium Sea Grey with Ocean Grey/Dark Green uppers.


Paint used were from AK Real Colours (Air) series.
It’s the first time I’ve used these in anger so to speak since deciding to switch from acrylic paints and all I can say is WOW :surprised: what a difference to acrylics.
They are very easy to use, I thinned them 3/1 with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner. As you can see they give a nice finish, they are quick drying to leave a nice gloss finish, no tip drying etc.

I’ve also added some brake piping to the undercarriage doors before painting.

I’ve also painted all the component parts so it’s just a case of putting the transfers on, a bit of light weathering and putting it all together.

Another update soon, thanks for looking :thumb2:

Great painting

Lovely stuff Geoff,
That's come out great....
.....totally agree about the feeling when you peel the masking away :thumb2:

[adt70hk]

Coming on very nicely. I've used that AK? putty before and really liked it. Need to perfect the technique but much easier than blue tack and tape.
