Świetne wideo.. dzięki za napisy i kamerowanie tych wszystkich drobnych szczegółów. Z przyjemnością obejrzałem. Takie ptaki były używane przez Polaków podczas Bitwy o Anglię dywizja 303. Pozdrawiam.

[@chilarai1]

I have this kit in my stash and your tips are definitely worth trying even if I don't have your careful touch. Very well built model. Thanks for sharing.

[@Fred_SPb]

Thanks!

[@chancerNW]

That is an excellent Hurriane, very well done I hope it restored your faith in Airfix.

[@Fred_SPb]

🤔 May be, May be...

@@Fred_SPb Trust me, those ever built with Revell, are well known on how worst and notorious for all sort imaginable problems. Airfix is much better in some ways.

Thanks!

Incredible! What paint? Ratio to thinner? Psi?? Such amazing skill

[@Fred_SPb]

I use Mr. Color paints. The air pressure on the compressor gauge is usually around 14-16 psi, less is better for fine atomization. I dilute the paint to the consistency of milk. I'd rather apply two coats of thin paint than one coat of thick paint.

[@alwinstanley1613]

@Fred_SPb thank you responding. Will try it asap

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

Good Job. But I think there could be some more contrast at the camo

[@Fred_SPb]

Thank you. I made a mistake with the camouflage colors, I relied on the mr color palette. 🙄

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

Shit happens :)

[@michaelmatthews4369]

Hi Aleksandr, At 25.22 you show a scanned copy of the instructions, how did you resize and print it. The use of paper masks is the way to go with camouflage spraying. I have scanner and printer..

[@Fred_SPb]

The procedure is the following. You scan the manual and open it in a graphical application. Measure, for example, the wingspan in the instructions and the wingspan of the model. Calculate the ratio and scale the image in a graphics application. Save the file with changes and print it.

Very good and accurate job. Maybe Hurricane by Airfix has some imperfections scalewise and geometrically along with primitive simplifications, it's still the only game in town if not to mention a Hasegawa one which is circa 30 years old. Italeri... It's just Italeri. Very mediocre plastic provided with a brilliant decal by Cartograf. So we will have to live long with Airfix unless someone else will issue a better model. Thanks for sharing your secrets.

[@Fred_SPb]

Thanks! Airfix kit is quite good and correct, it just looks a little old-style, although technology made it possible to make it no worse than Tamiya or GWH. Now I have a MK IIC trop from Arma Hobby and it is amazing.

[@СергейКоролев-м2е]

@@Fred_SPb I've see also one by Hobby Boss, but not live, only on the Web.

[@Fred_SPb]

@user-ms4ni3fh6i If you have the opportunity and money - take the Arma Hobby, and you won’t go wrong

[@BennyCFD]

Actually camouflage is very simple...Just free hand, it looks more realistic than using stencils or Blue Tack.

[@Fred_SPb]

It’s easier for me to use ready-made templates or blue tack. This makes it easier to blur the boundaries equally and avoid unwanted paint overspray. But now I use freehand, I don't really like the result. I use it to create a wide blurred border of colors.
