Geoff’s 1/72 Arma Hobby Hurricane Mk.I

[Geoffers]

Bit more done :smiling4:

I’m going to try some hairspray chipping on it so first thing was a coat of Vallejo Metal Colors Dull Aluminium followed with a coating of Tamiya Semi Gloss varnish to seal it in.

As you can see it’s mainly around the areas likely to suffer from chipping damage, the panels which are frequently removed and the wing leading edge.
Once the hairspray has dried properly I will start the top coat of paint.


Cheers:thumb2:

Yep, looking good Geoff:thumb2:
I'm at a similar stage with mine too!

Looking good, and after all that work in the cockpit you are going to seal it up - shame to hide so much work.

Thanks Mike,It’s only tacked on so I may change it to the open one once the painting is finished but to be honest hardly any of the cockpit can be seen even with it open :confounded:

More progress to report

Underside has been painted with AK Real Colors RC-290 RAF Sky.




Once dry it was all masked off then the upper fuselage camo applied using AK Real Colors -287 RAF Dark Earth and RC286 RAF Dark Green.


Masking on.

Masking off :smiling3:



I’m pleased with out it’s turned out, there is a little bit of touching up required then onto decals and weathering :smiling4:

Thanks for looking :thumb2:

Camo is beautiful. Your knocking this out quick

[Andy the Sheep]

Nice results Geoff. :thumb2:
I'm going to use the same set of colours and what I see has a relaxing effect on my expectations. Now I can only blame myself in case of blunders.
