ARMA Hurricane IIb
« on: November 12, 2020, 10:45:52 AM »
Here is my latest project, the ARMA Hobby 1/72 Hurricane IIb. Gem of kit and excellent detail, fit and overall surface treatment.
As an experiment I'm going to use the new Humbrol Acrylic Dropper Paints. Not a large range at the moment but a bit of careful mixing should do the trick.
I'll follow up soon to report on how it went.

Interesting how you were impressed with the fit as I was in contact with someone recently who'd built one and had problems. Probably not as skilled as you, lol!!!

Yes, the fit is like a lot of the newer CAD designed kits. All surfaces have to be clean and free of paint otherwise the fit isn't good. I was impressed with the fit of my kit. NO FILLER WAS USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS KIT!!!

Got shares in airfix, I’ve always seen good comments about these kits.

After what seems to be quite a time I've now finished the ARMA Hobby Hurricane IIc. Lovely little kit, the photo really doesn't do it justice. I shall be writing brief review of the kit and Humbrol's new Dropper paints for the Newsletter.
