1:48 Airfix Hawker Hurricane "naked"

I wanted to show the materials used in the construction of the Hurricane, the plywood, aluminium and "linen" areas as if they'd never been painted.

Missed this somehow mate :scratch::
Excellent video, really cool how you made the different materials
I would have sworn that was really wood around the cockpit
The Mosquitos were mostly wooden if I remember correctly…good topic for a similar build
:cheers2:

thanks Scott

I did a Mossie' some time ago, my first "naked" build however I'm really tempted to have another go as then I used a PE mask and now the Uschi wood decals are so much easier to use, and give a better effect as they have more than one colour for the grain.

if the 1:32 Tamiya wasn't so expensive I would have a go at one of them, I must buy a lottery ticket :tongue:

Yes, that 1/32 Tamiya Mossie is what I was thinking
If I ever get to the Border Lancaster, would like to do one side skeletonized :think:

Given the cost of that Lancaster I would think you'd be incredibly worried about slicing the fuselage open. :lol:

I would!!! :) There were some photos from Telford of a Shackleton that had been done thus - I think in 1/72 - and I got twitchy over that!! :lol:
