The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Hi there

I have not published anything for a long time.

This was my most recent work. A Hurricane that served the Portuguese Military Aeronautics in the 1940s.

The Airfix kit is very good

I' m doing the early version at the moment - I hope I can get my canopy framing nearly as delicate as you have.

That's excellent, very nicely done indeed!

Thanks.

Do not mask the canopy frame by frame. Is easy and more effective if you mask the horizontal friezes first, in all its extension and then the verticals.

Very nice Hurricane. Look pretty fine in Portuguese kit.

That is a seriously great looking Hurricane, Pacheco and it's a refreshing change to see one in Portuguese markings.

Beautiful work and I agree a nice change of markings.

Good to see in these markings - nice model!

That's a real stunner Pacheco. the weathering is spot on and I think anything looks good in Portuguese markings.

Superb work, truly excellent!

Great attention to detail.

The Airfix kit is very good ....and so is your model. In fact I would describe the latter as outstanding!

Well built and well finished!
Top job!

Tidy job indeed. The Portuguese scheme suits these aircraft well & your build suits it even better.
