Came across this model in a newsagent in a little village, and couldn’t resist it.
This is the Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk. IIC in the colours of No. 336 (Greek) Squadron, Desert Air Force, RAF, Landing Group 8 Mersa Matruh, Egypt, 1944. There was the alternative provided for No.28 (Army Cooperation) Squadron RAF South East Asia Command , Dalbumghar, North East India, 1944
This is the only model I have built since returning to modelling where I did not have to use a single drop of filler. It is a little gem of a Model, with negligible flash on the mouldings.
It came as a set with three pots of acrylic paint which I used for the Camo, for the underside I used Tamiya Acrylic. The kit paint had a really thick paste consistency, and was thinned with Tamiya Acrylic thinner roughly 60/40 thinner to paint, it airbrushed well.
I made the Revell Tornado Gr. 1 which was also I highly detailed model, this and the Hurricane both had recessed panel lines and rivets. The Decals were excellent all readable, right down to the smallest size, Trumpeter could take a lesson from this as on many of their decals they only had a thick black line, which I find unacceptable on their expensive 1/32 kits.
Hope you enjoy viewing. Plan to build the Tamiya 1/48 F-15C Eagle next.
