Jan Peters

Erik Leijdens
Following Jan! On my to-do list too

Jan Peters
Welkom🙂

Jan Peters
I've picked this up again, wanted to start it a couple of times before, but got distracted by other kits😉

Moreno Baruffini
Super interesting! Following!

Jan Peters
Welcome Moreno 🙂

Erik Leijdens
Great to see you picking this one up! I hope someday more pictures of Dutch East-Indies Hurricane's will appear, so few exist now, I believe 1 or 2?

Guy Rump
Interesting subject, following. 👍

Jan Peters
Erik, it took some time, but I wanted to get it done now🙂
I also know of only two pictures of the hurricane in dutch service, in those hectic days taking pictures wasn't really a priority I guess.

Welcome Guy!

Jan Peters
Got some more work done 🙂

Jan Peters
Here's an interesting blog on the hurricane used in the Netherlands Indies.

It seems the vokes filter was removed from some airframes in order to make it go faster.... So I can get away with building it without a filter 🙂

Jan Peters
Another Vokes filter was pinched from the Eduard hurristory kit, as well as the plastic wheels from that kit. The vokes filter I had from revell was crooked, and didn't look right.
I guess I will be building at least one bob hurricane in the future 🙂
The wheels from the revell kit look wrong, the hubs are too big.
As the hurristory kit has a set of resin wheels I decided to steal the plastic wheels for this one.

Moreno Baruffini
Great choice and great progress! Bravo!

Jan Peters
Thanks Moreno

Skyhiker
Nice work so far.

Jan Peters
Thanks Skywalker 🙂

Erik Leijdens
Great progress Jan. You can sand the landing lights flush with the wing and polish them back to clear I guess.

Jan Peters
Thanks Erik ☺️
The lights are quite flush, so I think it will be ok.

Jan Peters
First paint is on, Sky type s by hataka.
My first time using this paint trough the airbrush, I must say I'm very pleased with it.

Jan Peters
Hataka dark earth added to the top.

Jan Peters
Basic painting is done 🙂

Jan Peters
Decided to add the roundels to the underside, to be covered by the orange triangles  

Jennifer Franklin
Looking good, love the orange triangles, and can't wait to see it finished.

Jan Peters
Thanks 🙂

Jan Peters
Decals are done, now it needs to dry, so I can seal them

Bas Tonn
Following is not the correct term, more like looking back

Bas Tonn
Mooi Jan !! Ik heb al een tijdje een Hurricane in de stash, en maar besloten deze ook als KNIL versie te bouwen

J35J
Great work!👍🏻

Jan Peters
Dank je Bas
Deze stond al lang op mijn lijstje, nu afgevinkt 🙂

Thanks J35J

Hans
Zo te zien heeft jouw model meer vlieguren gemaakt dan de echte KNIL Hurricanes. 👍

Jan Peters
Dank je Hans.
They did fly quite some missions though, must have been a hard life.
