Academy 1/72 Hawker Hurricane II - W.I.P.

Post by Daishi12 »

Just a quick post for a work in progress, the Academy 1/72 Hawker Hurricane IIb.

Very well detailed kit that went together very nicely. No major filling or sanding to be done at all. The only criticism that I would have is the fact that the instruction sheet does not specify which paints are required, (hat off to Lee as he was able to work out they where Mr Hobby :bow:: ) and also that the decals are not the best quality in the world.. they are very thin and quite fragile and the roundalls where a bit out of alignment. I would say all in all a nice little kit that I enjoyed putting together.

Paint is Tamiya spray primer, the lower surfaces airbrushed black (combination Tamiya rubber black and Revell black) the upper surfaces are hairy stick painted Revell Dark Green and mid grey.

As always any comments or criticisms welcomed.

Just one last note, canopy was freehand painted without masking and has not been touched up.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the Academy clear parts, very thin and in scale for 1/72 (unlike Airfix for example) and the framing lines are excellent.
