I build the new Revell Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb 1/32 in Tropical camouflage

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A build in Tropical camouflage scheme of the new Revell Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb 04968.
Loosely based on Hawker Hurricane MkIIb - aircraft registration J KC BP166 of 238 Sqn serving Africa during WWII.
I opted for a black spinner instead of the Red as on close examination of the aircraft I depicted; it appeared to me that the Hawker Hurricane spinner was actually black. I came to this conclusion after looking through several B&W photos of spinners where we knew the colour was either red or black. Red is a much lighter shade of grey on the original B&W photos. I wasn't alone in this conclusion after showing photos to other people. I stand by this call.

Welcome to my channel hope you like the video.
I am new to modelling and have recently picked the bug up after receiving a gift for Christmas 2021. That's right; yep just a year and what a steep learning curve I am on!
So yes I have made lots of mistakes (and I mean lots!) but maybe I've learnt a bit as well.
I thought it would be of interest to post my trials and tribulations, for a few reasons:
Well, for me, it keeps a progress and diary of my efforts;
And for others I hope it will inspire some newbies to give it a go as it is incredibly rewarding.
There are on KZread a lot of excellent model makers and I think it can seem a bit intimidating to a lot of us;
If nothing else it may make you feel more confident after seeing my efforts after just a year and maybe you can have a laugh or even cry at my efforts.
To get the channel going I will need a bit of support though in the way of likes and subs so would be grateful for that.

    Paint the roundels!!! 🤷🏻‍♂️ At that scale painted roundels are the dogs'! I built the old Airfix Hurricane. Lots of filling and sanding but really enjoyed the painting including the markings, challenging and a little naive-looking. But this kit looks much much better to put together. Love the desert scheme. Edit: subbed (despite saying deekle🙄😂)

    😂 I wish I had tbh but they did go down okish. If it was a more expensive kit I would have but it was my 1st 1/32 and 1st time spraying as well. I was nervous about it bleeding too. But now I have done it I’ll be more up for it next time. Thanks for sub and keep modelling 👍

    Part of the reason you struggled with the fuselage joint was that you had the paint interfering with the glue. Clean your mating surfaces before you glue and it'll be a lot cleaner.

    Wow… what a beautiful looking Hurricane 😍😍😍 ummm I’m no expert on aircraft but I think your home made decals look amazing ummm more realistic 🤓🤓🤓 just my thoughts though so… anyway thank you very much for sharing this build with us 🙏😍👍 I know KZread videos are hard to do so my hats off to you there as I’ve never done one and, again if I’m honest, I’ll never do one. But you are extremely brave. Just try to relax more and explain what your doing doesn’t matter if your videos go on a bit it’s just nice to hear builders talking about what they’re doing and how they do it so don’t be scared or reluctant, just go with what you feel comfortable with doing. On the whole though excellent job sir 🤓😎😍 we’ll done you, I’ve subscribed and hit the bell so I get to see more of your wonderful builds. Keep up the great work and enjoy yourself doing it 😅😅😅 a great friend of mine who does KZread said he pretends he’s talking on the phone to his wife and that got him through the first few videos, then it just came natural and now you can’t shut him up 😂😂😂 it may help you in the future to calm the old nerves 😅😅😅 and again this is in no way me being smart or snug or being nasty I’m just trying to help you so we get more from you… selfish of me I know but hey that’s me a selfish T@¥# 😂😂😂 anyway great video and beautiful job on the Hurricane 😍😍😍😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍

    I was contemplating buying this kit, but was a bit put off because it had no tropical nose (as i really like that feature on the hurricane and spitfire) and it's not shown in the instructions at all (unless i'm reading them wrong), so i was surprised when you said that it's included in the kit. Might buy it after all. Thanks.
