The shades, to my old eye at least, look good, and will look even better when dulled and shaded. But regarding the RAF pattern, to me it seems pretty “close”, but not exact to the factory B type reverse pattern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern to me looks pretty close to the official scheme, close enough for government work, maybe some tweaks on the tail.

Cheers Dennis Yes, that looks pretty close, Dennis. I’ll mess with the rudder a bit, but for the most part, it looks good to me. Thanks for the info, Sir. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 10, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted May 10, 2023 Last Thursday, one of the landing lights, all nicely detailed, dropped onto the floor, and despite having completely disassembling my build room to find it, it is long gone. No carpet on the floor, just hardwood, and it’s still simply vanished. I saw it hit the floor and go shooting off somewhere. On this aircraft, the lights are very visible behind their covers, so they can’t be explained away if not there. I guess I’ll try to beg another appropriate sprue from Revell. 😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours was a lost cause, Ernie 😂 Hubert PS: besides loving to tease you, my friend, that’s a bummer. Fortunately, Revell have a good spares department 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 11, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted May 11, 2023 Well guys (and gal). My Hurricane llb build is now at a screeching halt as I wait for a replacement sprue with the landing lights to come from Germany. I have looked at possibly using different lights from the Fly kit, but the Revell kit’s are much different, and, I think, look better. So, in the week or two I’m stopped, I’ll start on the Aichi Val. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 24, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted May 24, 2023 Today, I got a little box from Revell, GMBH, and I was thrilled to find this inside. Revell’s Service is second to none! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 24, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted May 24, 2023 And then, a bit of paintwork, and drop the wayward part into place. Landing Lights are a very prominent part of the Hurricane, I was unwilling to make something. These a Revell reflectors are exquisite! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mixed my RAzf interior green using ratios I got off od Britmodeler, and it was indistinguishable from Modelmaster 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
