1/48 Hasegawa Hurricane Mk IId

by Mike Reeves

--------------------

 

This is one of many Hasegawa Hurricane offerings built straight out of the box, except for the harnesses which were done with foil from a eye contact package.  The kit had two options for decals- both from the same squadron.  I use Modelmaster enamel and acrylic paints for the RAF desert scheme.  To finish the build, I used Doc O'Brien's weathering powders to add the exhaust and cordite stains, as well as the desert dust.  This variant was used to bust open Axis tanks- thanks to the 40mm Vickers cannons under each wing.
