1/24 Airfix Hurricane

[marshal]

Hello, I am new here and I will be posting on behalf of my 12y old son who after completing his first model a 1/72 Spitfire about 18 months ago is hooked on modelling. At the moment he has no airbrush so all models are painted with either spray can or brush. He weathers them with a set of pastels. He has now just finished his 1/24 Airfix Hurricane which we got him for Xmas, He prefers the weathered look to the factory fresh look and I must say the hurricane looks like it has been on a fair few sorties! He is open to any tips and advice from more accomplished modellers.









thanks

Wow! Looks like we have a new master modeller in the making.

If he hasn't already seen them, check out Pauls build videos on youtube.

They cover EVERYTHING from opening the box to final display.

Thanks CJ , your comment made his day ha ha. He does like to check out how people do their models on youtube. He also has his own channel. "H Models" where he shows off what he has made.

Outstanding build! Being he is only 12yo he has a bright modelling career ahead of him!

Superb Job for a 12-yo kid!!
We could easily see that he had been 'infected' by the modelling vírus....
