Hurricane Mk.1 "Finnish Air Force" Hasegawa 1/72

Post by IvanV22 »

This is what you get. I really great kit.

One of my favorite moments in modeling is the unmasking!!!

Image

Image


The only problem was that I did not mask the rondlets on the underside of the wings…. The decals where so transparent…

Image

I hand brushed the spot several times with diluted white paint and gave it coat of clear before putting one the swastika.

Image

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.

Image

This was a great kit, no major problems and great fit on all parts.

Hope you liked it!

This one is absolutely gorgeous, Ivan!
You've done a great job with the kit.

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 :)
