The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

I've been trying to get these finished. Another batch that has been hiding in the shed.

A quintet of very good looking "nearly there's" Chuck.

It looks like all they need are canopies and gears (and maybe some props). I'll look forward to this quintet too.

All done!


An old Airfix Hurricane with low canopy.

Another old Airfix kit. Replacement canopy on this one.

Airfix's old MkIa.

Another MKII with rockets.

The skinny Academy kit. The fuselage has been widened, but it still looks too thin and the canopy is the worst bit. Nice detail though.
Actually, a replacement canopy would sort the pinched look. Academy have made the sliding canopy to fit flush with the flanks, rather than wider to slide over them.


The new Airfix MkI. Fabric wing.

They look great.

Very nice. I like the smooth paint on the red one, a good job.

Nigel

Great finish on those.

rich.

It's Rover Red from Halfords. I had a bit left over after touching up the wife's car. The raised detail is quite subdued but visible. I toned it down with a mix of Klear and Tamiya Flat Base. 90% to 10%.

You can not have too many Hurricanes !

Unless you live in Kansas.

I lived in Kansas for many years - tornadoes yes, but not hurricanes .....

I now live in North Carolina, on the coast even, and we do have hurricanes.

I prefer hurricanes although in this case you can have too many .....

A wonderful collection of Hawkers finest,making me green with envy.

Great work as usual my friend. Gotta love a Hurricane.

Nice to see a whole raft of well finished models. Must be quite a nice feeling to have them all done

More to come soon . . . . .




Some here too.
