stefanwest Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Bought this kit from a thrift store 15 years ago for a quarter. So what the heck, I tried something different and challenging. Was trying to build it OOB and make it look the best my skills could do. Edited February 12, 2013 by stefanwest
WildBill50 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Very cool looking, Steve. The black paint makes it look sinister looking. Nice job. What did you do for the chipped paint...pencil, paints, salt? Bill
Ron Bell Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Those Heller kits were pretty nice for the day and especially for the price. Much above Airfix or Matchbox. Their only rivals were the old Revell 1/72 fighter kits. Nice job, by the way, especially on the canopy framing.
ghodges Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 Great looking Hurricane, and in markings you don't often see. Congrats! GIL
stefanwest Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Posted February 13, 2013 I used a small sponge with paint on to make the chipped paint look on the plane.
Dreamsof51 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 It's not a bad kit, it just needed some love. I love the MkII with those big cannons. Very cool little project. Some of my most enjoyable projects have ones I found cheap. Proof oldies can still be goodies! Thanks for sharing.
