1/48 Hasegawa Hurricane Mk II C Trop

--------------------

 

This kit is 100% out-of-the-box. It required very little filling and sanding as the fit is near perfect. The cockpit detail is a little lacking but there is no option to open up the canopy without buying after market accessories or you are very good with a craft knife. The kit was sprayed with Vallejo acrylic; then sealed with Johnsons Klear (Future); next a very light wash with paynes grey oil paint was added; panel lines were then sprayed with thinned Tamyia smoke; and finally the kit was sprayed with matt varnish and lightly dusted with chalk pastels.

The ‘Hurri’ is only my second kit so there are plenty of mistakes (I won't draw attention to them here!). Onwards, forwards!
