I've had this lurking in the stash for a year or so, your build might be the spur to move it up the building list, thank you.

[Lee Drennen]

Andrea nice updates paint looks awesome

[Andy the Sheep]

That look alright! Any closer pictures?

Sorry, not for the moment as I'm 600 km from my bench...

[Andy the Sheep]

Looks great Andrea, I love weathering on the undercarriage :thumb2:

Geoff.

Thank you, Geoff. Just some Tamiya panel liner over a light brushing with steel pigments. I'll try to add some mud and grass stains later.

....it's looking at me from the box it's stored in!

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Looking good Andrea.

[Andy the Sheep]

Back from parents' home and deep into SWMBO jobs list (painted two wooden plant pots, easy to paint but terribly heavy to lift).
In the meantime I managed to spray some Tamiya clear on my Hurricane, which is now ready for decaling, but nothing worthing even a single pixel to be published.

[Jim R]

That is an excellent paint job.

[Andy the Sheep]

No significant progress but as Ian asked for more and closer pics, here they are

Decals will follow (sooner or later, real life permitting...)

Is the underside paint scheme a UK WWII version of "DONT SHOOT ME"? Beautiful job on this.

[Andy the Sheep]

The underside scheme was one of those provided by the RAF 1941 regulation and yes, I think one of the main reasons was to avoid friendly fire or "blue on blue" as it's called now, but, IMHO, it's also a tentative to break the shape of the aircraft, making its spotting and ranging from below more difficult for enemy pilots and gunners.

[Ian M]

This is all looking rather good. Nice work Andrea.

Beautiful sharp paintwork andrea , cheers tony

Project stalled again due to heavy gusts from real life: I'm again at my parents' to offer some help and relief. I'm relying with confidence on this distinguished audience patience and understanding. :smiling4:
