Hawker Hurricane MK I Italeri 1/48.Battle of Britain. Building and Painting

[@qkaskrmsp]

This build looks fine due to your skills of master-builder, even the kit had bugs. Great job

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you mate!

[@ryany7663]

I built the sea hurricane varient of this, and so it had the same bug as you mentioned. It does take a lot of work, especially with the detail of the ribs on the fuselage but if you can get past that its a really nice kit

[@normivers8982]

That hurricane biography book was cool.

[@davidstewart1943]

I just built that kit and the real bug is that the wing assembly hits the bottom of the cockpit floor. I moved the cockpit assembly up a little and thinned the floor. There is another bug where the front edge of the left wing abuts the fuselage. I filled with it multiple applications of thin putty and sanded.

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you for your more accurate description about the both bugs, very useful...

[@eduardojimenez5933]

Buen trabajo! El modelo requería mucho trabajo ...y tu creatividad te ayudo a superar eso obstaculos ...eso es lo que destaca a un buen modelista....felicidades.

Awesome looking Hurricane!

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you!!

Bonjour d'en France. Superbe travail. You are Real Artist. 👏

[@TurbineModels]

Thabk you so much!!

[@williamvasilakis9619]

Superb work.

[@aimeedurrand5730]

At the risk of seeming picky, I'm afraid that the access door on the starboard side is not hinged, it is either in or out.

[@-sailboatmodel]

Hello! Interesting video. Good post-shading technology. Thank you and success!

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you mate!

[@bobdyer422]

Nice job on the Hurricane and paying tribute to it's pilot. Like the pit, and the PE flap set. The painting and weathering is incredible. The markings came out perfect, looks like Montex will be the way to go for that complete effect. Great job! Congrats! To let you know I did try this kit, {Tamiya box} I wasn't at all successful. So an extra pat on the back to you!

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you so much again :)!!

[@marianmm7034]

...awesome build and beautiful Hurricane!

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you so much!

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Beautiful Hurricane and well built my friend 🍻👍

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you mate!!

[@mmascitti]

Good job! Just a small detail, the red navigation light is located on the left wingtip leading edge and the green light on the right wingtip leading edge.

[@TurbineModels]

thank you so much!, it's always great to learn something new

[@kevelliott]

@@TurbineModels If you remember that port is red, you won't forget!

[@Flingwing24]

Or....there is no port LEFT in the bottle. Although the old port and starboard thing is largely gone in military aviation now

[@nicholasmoore2590]

Lovely model of a great aircraft. Just a couple of small points though. The video seems to show you putting a red navigation !light on the starboard wingtip. It should be green as red is only used on the port side. The cockpit hatch was only for escape and wasn't hinged so it was either c!osed or not on ghe aircraft. On the ground, the flaps were always closed unless the aircraft was either taking off, landing, or undergoing maintenance on the flaps.

[@sarahrietzbaena9398]

Incredible work! Keep it up bud

[@TurbineModels]

thank you Sarah, you are one of my favourites fans! :)

[@telescopereplicator]

Great model. Nice result. Here's a good tip : On both the Spitfire and Hurricane, the flaps (the brass parts on your model) are either fully down or fully up. There is no intermediate position !! Gluing them at an angle like you did, is therefor not realistic. They are only lowered during landing, and even before the airplane stood still, they were retracted again, to prevent damage. So building a model with flaps down, means you are representing a Hurricane seconds before landing.

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you for your comment and also for your tip

[@philray8297]

Gorgeous. What color paint did you use for the pinwash on the sky color? Convincing result all round.

[@DGARDELIS]

Not bad, for such a problematic model. The link of the wing to the fuselage at the nose and engine covers has been a nightmare for me. Next one will be Airfix for sure.

[@ecosurfshop]

Nicely done job - thanks for sharing

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you!

[@avitor500]

Nice !. Which Rosie the riveter pitcher were you using ?

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you So much!, 0.75 mm for 1/48

[@bobgibb2781]

Some interesting techniques but the control column and the gunsight prism are both installed backwards .

[@kevinsands7639]

There was no access door on a hinge, "that was an emergency escape hatch that was released and flew off when the canopy was open to let the pilot out of a burning plane. Common misunderstanding while building this plane. The pilot climbed in and out through the top. Anyway, the rest is nicely built.

[@lalouxfrancois]

hey, very good build indeed. Just a little thing: the door should not be opened, as it is an emergency exit only... Not like the spit... i did the same mistake :) good model anyway cheers

[@TurbineModels]

hahahaha...Good point!, I didn't know.. Thank you for your feedback

[@davidnash1220]

That's really lovely

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you!

[@M18Hellcat]

If you got any idea or any chance how much would it cost to make a M1A1 or M1A2 Abrams full detail model?

[@TurbineModels]

Hi!, are you talking about time or money?

[@M18Hellcat]

@@TurbineModels Both actually,i am really interested because your models are breath taking,so i might look at it to order from you :)

[@TurbineModels]

At first. Thank you for your so nice comment. I think that I could do a detailed Abrams in 2 months (it depends because modelism is not my job, only my hobby, and I get a limted time to work on it...About price, please, if you are interested let me your email adress and I will write you telling the details

[@hard4262]

I like your models!

[@TurbineModels]

thank you again!!

[@konradalexander7561]

What was your p/t ratio for the x86?

[@TurbineModels]

Hi Konrad, sorry but I'm not sure to understand your question , where do you want to know the ratio paint-thinner?

[@konradalexander7561]

@@TurbineModels for the matt coat, after the decal application and for the final coat

[@TurbineModels]

ok!, the Flat Clear, now, I understand. 70% varnish-30% thinner

[@SoniaOE]

Amazing!!! Thank you!

[@TurbineModels]

Gracias guapa!!! ;D

[@hanskarlsson8715]

No, no, no! Here we go again with the escape door of the hurricane hanging down by the side of the cockpit like on a Spitfire. That door was NEVER opened like that...in fact, it wasnt even hinged! It had a handle on the inside that when turned released the whole hatch so the pilot could escape in case of an emergency. Of cause, the canopy would have to be fully opened or jettisoned for this to be possible. Otherwise a really good build! 😊

[@TurbineModels]

Hahaha, Thank you Hans I really apreciatte your comment, someone else let me a similar comment about the same topic...Sorry but I didn't know before to built the kit, if I will take into account in my futures Hurricanes.

[@Swampmonster-uk]

great build and love how you do the shading. (i'm going to be really picky as I believe you have the gun-sight installed facing the wrong way. )

[@TurbineModels]

Hi Richard, thank you for you nice words...and yep, I think that you are right and it's not in the right way..sorry...

[@tomasperezluis4606]

Muy buen trabajo!! te sigo en tus videos!!

[@TurbineModels]

Muchas gracias!

[@pilotguy1141]

Amazing model I used to do this when I was younger. I don't do it anymore I don't have the skills. I tried to leave pick up the Hobby again and learned on cheap models my airbrushing weathering techniques just can't get the hang of it

[@PeteCourtier]

pilot steve I’m at the same stage as you😀 I bought some cheap kits on eBay to practise but I found them a pain in the arse. Much filling and sanding! I’ve learnt to buy decent kits from tamiya or eduard. Anyway, I’m still practising with my new airbrush and it’s getting there. Don’t give up mate👍

[@pilotguy1141]

@@PeteCourtier I just picked up a cheap Tamiya 1/48 F4 Phantom from a local hobby shop. And it's turning into a disaster I watched so many KZbin videos on how to shade and weather them I can't figure it out. I used to do only 1/32 scale because they were bigger than the parts were easier to handle but I'm not dropping coin on bigger models if I can't master a small one

[@TurbineModels]

Hi!, I started to build model being so young too, I p for long time and I recovered this hobby when my chidren was born, few years ago. My tip is: don’t buy so cheap or old models because usually they are plenty of bugs and level of detail so often is very low….It’s better buy a medium price one and be patient 😊. Good luck and don’t get discourage!

[@PeteCourtier]

pilot steve tbh my favourite build has been a 1/72 academy p51c. Apart from the decals it was great fun. 1/72 is a lot cheaper. I have a 1/48 tamiya mosquito in the stash which I keep putting back as I want more practice. Have you tried any armour?

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

I have both kits. They're great. I don't know why Italeri stopped putting them out?

[@TurbineModels]

Totally agree with you regarding Stuka's Italeri kit. About Hurricane, It really had a huge fit bug...Anyway I had a lot of fun building both

[@cochrane4599]

Sadly, the cockpit side door does not hinge down on a Hurricane as you have shown it. It was a removable panel, not a hinged door.

[@chrisscalemodels5373]

very nice

[@TurbineModels]

Thank you mate!!

[@SB-cf3xt]

Capolavoro !

Tamiya bought these molds and as good as they are they should be ashamed to put their name on it. Same goes for their A-10.

[@TurbineModels]

100% agree with you

ready to take off... ;-)

Sir hi, a very nice model, but the wing tip lights are right wing = Green & left = Red.

[@donfoley1590]

A different class

[@trevormather8987]

Are all italeri models as shockingly bad as this? I'm a beginner and had bought and started it before I saw your post. This thing cost $70, I have some $5 hurricanes which are loads better than this pile of crap

[@TurbineModels]

HI there!, not all of them are as bad as this one, for instance the "Stuka" one is quite good...but I agree, this one is horrible and I don't understand how they continue selling it
