This is my entry to the Hawker Hurricane GB. It is 100% what if and 100% OOB. I wanted to try this paint peeling technique the treadheads use and having seen some all beat to crap Russians planes I figured why not this one. This should work great on a Japanese plane.
Marc that is simply awesome. If you don’t share that technique I’m going…well, I’m going to cry [BH]. and PUH-LEEZE don’t pull put the giant penny on this one and tell me it’s 1/144th! I don’t know how you do it but you keep getting better and better…
Was that the Hasegawa kit?
Very nice Marc, That plane looks Fantastic [tup][tup]. Question wouldnt the Star and other markings show the same type of worn and chipped away paint also ? Not being Critical , just curious as I have no clue . Please do share the technique…[8D]
Marc, I wonder how you pulled that off…[:-^] None-the-less, it’s beautifully executed. I love it.
Excellent work as always Marc! Man, your paintjobs just keep getting crappier and crappier.
[swg]
LOL Frank you got it rith on the spot [:)]
Nice job Marc. Really nice job !
Funny that Soviets never admitted what big help the lend-lease programm was to their war effort.
Anyone else see that bar just getting higher and higher. Yes please share the painting technique. In fact, submit it to the magazine. The editors would love to see how you did that, and so would I.
Now, doesn’t a hurricane painted in Russian Markings look like it was designed by Russians? You could call it a Mikoyan Hurrican or a Yakivlov Hurrican. I’d figure that the English built it under lisence.
Semper Fi,
Chris
My friend, that would look fantastic on an Oscar or Tony! I think I like this one the best of everything I’ve seen you do. Please, do tell us your secrets! [tup]
Dadgum, Marc… that’s awesome! And I’d be willing to bet that’s a lot less “what-if” than you’d think!
You gotta share that trick… beautiful work!
Excellrnt work Marc. You might want to tone down the factory fresh markings to blend in with the overall weathered scheme, but other than that looks great.
Regards, Rick
[#ditto] on the decals
OK stupid question time
the peeled paint affect you have makes the plane out to appear metal underneath but the hurri
was a fabric plane with steel frame so the peeled paint thing would not appear proper
I took it to be a heavily worn winter temporary finish, myself.
Looks great.
Looks great Marc…I like it very much. Did you use the hairspray thing??
Jerry
Nice work as always, Marc!
Mark
Nice, you don’t see too many models that look like that!
Durr, I think that is green under the wings, not metal.
Marc, looks way cool. I can’t believe you built another wingy thing. Is that plane really that far-fetched? I thought the Soviets used some Hurricanes early in thier war. You did a great job as usual, it’s really cool to look at. I agree with Rick, maybe blend those markings in with the winter camo. Thanks for showing us how it’s done!
Thats a nice wethering job.
thnaks very much everyone. i appreciate yoru comments.
Hmmmm? Tigerman… I have no idea [:-^]. And then I did a dot filter to tone down the marking after posting these pics. Where did I get THAT idea???[;)]
summit… the process is described near the bottom of page 17 in the Hurricane GB. Search for hairspray and you get lots of hits with info.
Charles… yup it’s the Has. kit.
Rick… I thought so to but was hoping against hope that nobody would notice. Too many pros ‘round here. So I sanded to have the ribs show and put on a filter to lighten them.
Durr…Kit builder it correct. These were passed on the Russians with their original Brit camo and I just white washed that. The camo can be seen though the bare spot but not in the photos.
Jerry… yup sure is. I think there are lots of uses on aircraft. I am curious what it would look like with one color first then a second coat of the same thing but with a drop or 2 of white and then peel.
Whoa !
That’s awesome. Very nice!
Chris
