Hurricane Mk.1 "Finnish Air Force" Hasegawa 1/72
Hurricane Mk.1 "Finnish Air Force" Hasegawa 1/72
This is what you get. I really great kit.
One of my favorite moments in modeling is the unmasking!!!
The only problem was that I did not mask the rondlets on the underside of the wings…. The decals where so transparent…
I hand brushed the spot several times with diluted white paint and gave it coat of clear before putting one the swastika.
The prop was a nice touch in this kit, it fitted perfectly and let me wait until the model was finished before I had to attach it.
This was a great kit, no major problems and great fit on all parts.
Hope you liked it!

Nice build Ivan, I like your paint scheme and markings, good to see a Hurri out of standard uniform.

Great work Ivan!
As some of the other folks have said, I too have never seen a 'Hurri' in Finnish markings.
Keep up the good work
