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.

You just love your Humbrol/Airfix, a real enthusiast.

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!!!

Surface detail looks great.

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!!!

Sounds like a kit for me.  ;D

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.
