airifx 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I

Post by Apaleftos »

Hello
i have another build paused at the moment the airfix 1:48 Bf-109 (decaling) so i started this because i like building/painting/unmasking etc.
I ve built this model in 1:72(same company) as my first after i returned to modeling so i wanted this in 1:48 as well plus it was a good experience plus the good reviews. Took me about 1 hour(or more) to construct the cockpit and surroundings, a lot of pieces, and i really enjoyed the process. The fit is good, some pieces just need a little push. I tried for the first time, the vallejo gloss black surface primer for the gun bay area. I will only use this for areas with metal color, the rest will be primed with humbrol can primer. I see that the surface is a little rough. I sprayed at 20psi and tried to "dust it". Maybe another coat will make it smoother? Advice is welcome.
