Airfix 1/72 Hurricane mk1

Straight out the box then coated with tamiya acrylics. Did the underside a while back but got a bit of mojo back to finish him off. Great little kit really. Stamfords tip of the day - the front windscreen is attached to the sprue by a thin tab at the top, just leave a mm and hey presto a rear view mirror! The landing lights are nicely done too - a toothpick dab of silver in the round recess on them on a black background and they pop out nicely.

A very well presented Hurricane. I really like the black/white under surfaces on these early machines. Lvely model in every way.

Well done! The yellow spinner certainly gives it a lift.

That's a lovely job Stamford.

I've got a Hurricane in my stash, hope it looks as good as yours when it's done. Oh, and thanks for the tip about the interior mirror

Not all early Mk.I's had the mirror mounted above the windscreen frame.

Nice one, I'm going to burn in hell but I think I prefer the Hurricane to a Spitfire.
