Brilliant Video series Nigel, really enjoyed it 👍👍👍... Just in case anyone wants to buy the Tamiya cutters you mention about1:03mins... The ones you prefer are 74035' but the other ones you showed were 74123 the slim jaw sharp point ones but you said 74129 which are actually the Craft side cutter for plastic and soft metal, which are slightly more heavy duty cutters and have a curved jaw side not straight pointed.....

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks for that.. I always get the slim number wrong.

[@toboldlygosmodelworks1973]

Nicely done Nige👍👍

Great build Nige and I really appreciated the 'what I used' section. I have copious notes!

Just about to embark on one of these. If mine comes out as nice as yours I will be well pleased. Great channel btw.👌

[@NigelsModellingBench]

You can do it!

[@terryburian7057]

Absolutely loved it, really enjoyed this build. A much better kit than Revell Germany's 1/32 Bf109G-6 and G-10. I got half way through the G-6 kit and decided I was going to need a ridiculous amount of aftermarket parts to get it more or less correct, and still wasn't convinced I would be satisfied with it, so I cut my losses and threw both kits in the trash. I wasn't going to buy anymore of their kits, but this looks like a good one with only minor difficulties. I grew up in the 1960s and 70s so I am very familiar with needing extra work on a kit. Excellent job, congratulations on a very nice Hurricane.

She's come out looking fantastic Nigel..... Absolutely fantastic! 👍 It's actually hard to believe that this is a true Revell kit, and is of this quality, with the way that they buy in and ship out so many other manufacturers' kits..!! 😉 Nicely done..... ☑ 👍

Many thanks!

[@JamesA2]

Morning Nigel, great work on the Hurricane despite the plastic problems. I had ordered some of the VMS Varnish from Premium Hobbies before I saw your video. They arrived the day after your video went live. I got the large 100ml bottles, Matt and Satin. Hope you don't mind if i give my findings on them here in the comments? I thought I would try out the new VMS acrylic varnish. Matt and Satin. So far very impressed. Super smooth durable finish. At first I thought it was the same as Galeria (windsor and newton). It is similar in appearance but totally different in performance. Touch dries in about two hours in a warm room (do not use hairdryer to dry it) but recommend leaving to cure for 24hrs. Spray it on wet (do not mist coat) through a large diameter nozzle 0.3 minimum. It can be thinned but not necessary. Self levels really well without drips, does not crackle or go white. A couple of coats will hide raised carrier film on decals. Next day you have a durable silky smooth finish. The Matt is Matt and the Satin is Satin.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Thanks

[@ninebolts]

Great series Nigel, and I like your tools and consumables bit at the end. I wanted to point you at another youtube build of the same kit, do a search for "naked hurricane build" Jenesis models which is nothing to do with Genesis Models. I think you'd appreciate the very matter of fact building and view of the kit.

Finally got around to watching this episode of the hurricane build…. It’s turned out nice again 👍 😎 Nigel considering the problems both you and Paul have had with the kit plastic…. I was thinking of building the Trumpeter 1/32 Hurricane MK2C , but that’s a long way off at the moment.

As always very educational video, still waiting for the finish of the Sturm, you guys are so lucky to have a great and strong group and wonderful KZbin channels, I just started about 3 months ago with a modeling channel for Spanish speaking modelers, we are not much, but we need to start, my channel is called scrap box, and I stared with the SWS Hs-129 1/32 and the 1/48 Revell C-45 Expeditor, the one that my beloved uncle flown as a pilot for the Mexican Air Force, sorry for my speech but as we are not much around here I wanted you to know, cheers, greetings from Monterrey, Mexico

[@RimsModels]

Great video my friend the hurricane looks stunning the attention to detail is amazing from gluing the first parts to the final reveal I enjoyed every minute of it plenty of hints and tips along the way thanks for showing everything you used and can’t wait to see what’s next thanks for doing these videos 👍👍

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@paulmanuse2353]

I had a kit from Das Werk, very early one, and Tamiya extra thin would not work on it. That Hurricane looks great!!

[@johnrycroft3906]

Nigel. If you get a chance watch Reach for the Sky. The hurricanes in that look pretty beaten up

[@nickjoy8868]

Well Nige has finished her, and beautifully too. I'm afraid life has got in the way of both modelling and watching vids- so this is the only one of this build I've watched; as a result of which I'm wondering about the irregularity of the gun port patches- presumably this is reflecting service life during WWII? The writing on the starboard side of the cockpit looks very bright, probably just as a result of watching this on video. A beautifully well made and decorated kit there Nige, take pride in that. Roll on the next project!

[@Forest_Fifer]

Yeah that was a deliberate decision as they'd just get stuck on by the groundcrew in a hurry.

[@harrymarwick2529]

Hi Nick 👋 The irregularity of the gun port patches is correct, as they were just fabric swatches stuck in place to stop birds or debris getting in the gun ports while the aircraft was stationary.

[@melvilib]

@@harrymarwick2529 I was under the impression they were to protect the guns and keep heat in the wing in flight. Ensuring they will fire when asked to.

[@GaryGMW]

Excellent finished model,shame about the reaction problems with the plastic though.Nice build Nige.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Tell me about it

[@haydnmilton2892]

Love this Build, I’ve ordered the kit can’t wait to get started Real shame about the plastic put. At least I’ve got a heads up curious for the same scale. What Spitfire would you be able to go with this I love your 1:24 build but it’s just a little bit too big for me.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

The Kotare 1/32 Mk1 spit is on the way.. gorgeous kit I expect.

[@Ein_Samson]

[@markoldreive]

Nice work, looks really good. Shame about the reaction with the oils though. I’m hoping mine will go to primer over the weekend if I get my masks in time.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Fingers crossed!

[@GetYourModelOn]

Nice build. I just got the kit in the mail and I will use your videos as a guide. I have a question; did you do the panel first before you did the oil wash?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

The panel lines were done with the oil wash.

[@jackrussell19a]

Hey Nigel .. Another great series and lovely build as always and very informative.. Hope you're groovy!! What's your opinion on Revell paints?? They're what's most available in the 2 model shops near me in France.. I've just finished the Aces High 'Iron Maiden' Spitfire.. It's the first model I'm very happy with.. Feeling confident enough to crack on with either the Lancaster or Vulcan now ..

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I like Revell paints, especially thinned with water and brushed on.

[@100yojimbo]

Amazing build series 👍👍👍 did you find out in the end what the problem was with the Revell plastic?

[@NigelsModellingBench]

No, Revell said there was no difference?

[@williamkoppos7039]

Sorry Mate the wheels on a Hurri are "toed in". Revell got it right. Beautiful build. My gear doors did not fit at all well. Go figure.

[@mikem8916]

The wheels are supposed to be toed out on the bottom , not 90 degrees to the ground. That's why the keyed hole is there. Oops!

[@NigelsModellingBench]

In the books i have they look pretty much vertical? They certainly don't have about 5° neg camber.

[@mikem8916]

@@NigelsModellingBench It's 93 degrees off the strut which is 90 degrees off the centerline. Look at the kit struts you can see there's a downward angel ( 3 degrees actually) You've done a nice job on the build NIgel, I just wanted to point this out for others.

Hi Nigel, Yet again, another great build. Also is it possible for you to post a link for the red clamps that you use. Many thanks in advance.

Think you’ll find there was a small amount of negative camber built into the undercarriage of the Hurricane.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

In the books I have they look pretty much vertical? They certainly don't have about 5° neg camber.

[@yanknbank007]

Hi Nigel. Wouldn’t be far off 5° of camber. Not sure how that’s depicted on the model. You’ll also note the camber on the Tempests and Sea Fury’s (and I presume the Typhoon). Really enjoying the channel, keep the videos coming!

[@bluegirl77777777]

Yes, but the difference between revell and tamya is the tamya kit will be about 3 times the price of the revell, so that been said, you get what you pay for

[@darkknight1340]

As you say,if it was a Tamiya kit, the awkward components would just slide right in there,but you are,of course, paying Tamiya prices for the privilege.Revell kits are generally exceptional value and I prefer a kit that requires a bit of thought!.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Same here!!

[@tronmcconnell4465]

Nigel, I'll be interested to hear if Revell ever responds to your email about the issues with Tamiya Extra Thin and the plastic in this kit, and if they do respond, what they say (if you feel it's appropriate to share that info. publicly).

[@NigelsModellingBench]

They have said they changed nothing?

Been using vms since they came out I only use vms. But Don't thinn the Matt Varnish..you need to airbrush a wet coat read the bottle watch the vms Videos Don't send the VMS Matt varnish it's supposed to be thick and go on wet .you will mess up the leveling property's

[@NigelsModellingBench]

I hear what you are suggesting, but what about when there is fine detail involved? Surely hosing on a thick coat will eradicate the detail? i love VMS products, but they are, shall we say, different lol.

Did you Mr Cement?

[@alexlupsor5484]

Good afternoon Nigel, At this time I was wondering if you could suggest to Airfix company to introduce a highly detailed model of the Canadian Avro Arrow that we (Canada)produce in the late 50’s. The only kit that I know of, is a kit that was created using an old vac-u-form kit converted to plastic. It was produced in 1/72 & 1/48 scales by Canadian company called HobbyCraft company that contracted a Korean company to produced it. They produced a decent reprint of the used vac-u-form kit formed by a model manufacturer. I’m not sure of the date. I know it would be well received here in Canada and you will receive my accolades. At the time, Avro Canada had produced a number of “fly by wire” fighter aircraft at the cutting edge without proto types, the hover air-car for the US army and also a jet liner that was two weeks “late” for the first jet airliner beaten by the English Comet, which used “Oval Windows” in the passengers compartment, unlike the “Square windows” used on the Comet, which caused cracking on the fuselage skin around the windows in the passenger compartment. It is a great read. They were also developing axel jet engine which was supposed, superior to the Pratt & Whitt engines that was used in the first five aircraft. That is ships “CF101-CF105.” This engine was being introduced in the CF|106. The government cancelled everything produced, which included the jetliner. I guess we (Canada) our tech. was not to be. The French wanted the engine for their Mirrage 3 fighter. This is fact and well documented. Maybe we Revell in Germany may want to tackle it also. It would be a more affordable model say tamiya, as their kits seam too be about $100.00 higher then,say Revell, who has offered great quality at a affordable rate. Just a thought. Forever in His service

[@NigelsModellingBench]

Hi Alex. You could contact them and ask...

[@alexlupsor5484]

@@NigelsModellingBench , Thank you for the speed in which you replied my question. The reason I asked you was because you do have a good reputation and what I would call, “the juice” because of your standing as a reputable modeller. I have build may airfix models in my youth and I loved their warship series but I think I must have built five Lancaster to one Halifax. The lanc was the best and was my favourite kits. I just thought to myself that if you would ask they might say yes. I will send them a letter but if you had a name I could use it might make a difference. If you have a name i would appreciate it and if you would support me in this request. Forever in His service

Well done nigel. Great build. It's a shame about the plastic of this kit. TBH I'm not a fan of revell.

No, you need something that will "key" into the plastic if you want a durable finish that can be sanded and feathered without a visible edge.

At 8 years old someone gave me Robert Stanford Tucks' book To Fly and Fight. I have been hooked on World War 2 since and I am now 55. I'm enjoying this build. It's funny you call this a "new Tool" kit, but then are dealing with crumbling plastic. Not good! New tool, old plastic?
