      Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hurricane

      Finished at last. After losing pieces and bits missing ive got it done. First time ive used a base, dont know whether to lighten the base or ?. I left the engine out and mounted it separately but i dont know whether it fits on the base well. Not to sure really. Any comments would great. Thanks for your time.

      Cheers

      Si

      Hi Simon, cracking build mate very impressive indeed. I think the base is great, the only thing i'd add maybe is a couple of figures working on the plane.

      Cheers, Andrew

      Hi Andrew, Im trying to get hold of 1/24 scale figures.. they are like hens teeth. I do have a link to a polish website that does 1/25 figures but i havent had a look yet. I better get my finger out lol.

      cheers

      That's excellent Si, you've balanced the weathering between filthy & clean perfectly!

      It looks good on the base, between necessary maintenance. For figures, Tamiya do a set of 1/24 F1 pit crew. They're in overalls so they might work in this setting with a bit of adapting?

      Fantastic job simon. These airfix 1/24 kits can still make a mighty fine looking model. I reckon the base is fine as it is ,and it doesnt detract too much from the superb job youve done on the hurricane . cheers tony

      Nicely done.

      I agree with the idea of some figures on the base, there's a Tamiya 1/24 Rally Mechanics set that would also be easy to adapt
