Recently finished this Arma Hobby 1/72 Hurricane Mk.1 in 501 Squadron markings from 1940. This was the Expert set of the kit which includes masks and a fair amount of p/e detail although some of it such as the canopy handles and mirror are absolutely tiny. The surface detail on the plastic is also quite impressive for the scale and little touches such as the landing and navigation lights really add that little extra. The kit assembles very well once everything is crammed into the cockpit.
Finished in Mr Color laquers with a little oil weathering.
Thanks for looking.

The Airfix 1/72 Ford Trimotor finished in the American Airways livery. The painting guide with the kit left something to be desired but luckily the Smithsonian museum in the USA has a preserved Trimotor on display in AA livery AND had photos of it on the web. Decals were the ones supplied with the kit.
Paint - base colour is Ammo Migs "Polished Metal" and Tamiya Red and Royal blue. For an old kit it went together quite well. Biggest change needed was taking a section out of the undercarriage braces as they were a couple of mm too wide which had the knock-on effect of preventing the fuselage sides joing the fuselage floor properly. I took a 5mm section out of the centresand used CA adhesive to fix the brace sections to the fuselage floor - problem solved.

finally wrapped up my andys hhq 1/16 tiger. what a beast, nice kit, but it will be a while before i do another 1/16 kit


thanks krusty
