1:48 Arma Hobby Hurricane MkIIc
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 3:58 pm
This is my attempt at building the Arma Hobby 1/48 Hurricane MkIIc as a non-specific “night intruder”
This is Arma Hobby’s 2nd 1/47 scale kit, I’d previously built their 1st a PZL P.llc also an excellent kit, so I was looking forward to this, and I wasn’t disappointed!
The engineering and fit is very close to what you’d expect from Tamiya and the level of detail comparable to Eduard, when they release their version of a Sea Harrier I’ll be getting one.
Wherever possible I prefer to paint markings rather than use decals so the squadron and aircraft codes are not accurate, they were selected from previous builds.
I’ve also opted to show the aircraft with, too must?, chipping of the black paint showing the brown & green “day” camo’, whilst not strictly accurate it was an interesting exercise and, I hope, adds a bit of extra interest?
EXTRAS:
Eduard Brasin exhausts
Eduard SPACE 3D cockpit decals and steel harness (I didn’t use the IP from this set)
Master brass machine guns
Brengun landing light PE
Montex masks
PAINTS:
Tamiya
MRP
MrWeathering
502 Abteilung oils
Enough waffle, here’s the photos…
Some black and white versions…
until next time
as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received.
