Hawker Hurricane Mk II
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/1/3/6/1381136-11178-91-720.jpg)
After some serious cleanup of the parts the fit is quit good. I used some sprue goop (dark grey portions) to reinforce some weak glue points. This worked like a charme.

Put in some extra piping.

![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/0/0/9/1579009-11178-39-720.jpg)
The fit isn't that bad. First time using super glue for glueing the fuselage halves in order to avoid ghost seams afterwards.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/0/1/0/1579010-11178-61-720.jpg)
Fit of the wing to the fuselage without glueing. As can be seen the fit is rather good. Once I commit to glue I can do some finetuning.

![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/0/7/9/1580079-11178-47-720.jpg)
At the front I had an uneven gap that I filed with black cyano. Next is sanding and rescribing the panel line
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/0/8/1/1580081-11178-36-720.jpg)
Fit of the underside panel is good. Just needs some minor sanding and rescribing.
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/0/8/0/1580080-11178-50-720.jpg)
Filling of the wing joints with black cyano glue. Advantage is no shrinking, good contrast and easier to sand and scribe than ordinary cyano glue.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/0/8/2/1580082-11178-44-720.jpg)
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/0/8/3/1580083-11178-21-720.jpg)
Up till now the fit was not so bad. But fit of the gun inserts is horrible.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/0/8/4/1580084-11178-79-720.jpg)
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/0/8/5/1580085-11178-81-720.jpg)
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/0/8/7/1580087-11178-29-720.jpg)
Cyano glue to the rescue.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/0/8/6/1580086-11178-66-720.jpg)
To make the wing to fuselage fit I filed of the part in red. That way all fit together rather wel. Final adjustments will be made after I glued the wing to the fuselage.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/9/7/6/1587976-11178-25-720.jpg)
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/9/7/7/1587977-11178-28-720.jpg)
Wing-fuselage glued. Had to use some plasticard to fill a small gap.
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/9/7/9/1587979-11178-14-720.jpg)
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/9/8/0/1587980-11178-79-720.jpg)
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/9/8/1/1587981-11178-16-720.jpg)
Using mr surfacer to even everything out.
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/9/8/2/1587982-11178-50-720.jpg)
Also some black cyano which is easier to sand and rescribe.
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/9/8/3/1587983-11178-87-720.jpg)
After wiping awy the mr surfacer with IPA the result should look good under a layer of paint.

![Album image #45 Album image #45](/albums/img/9/8/8/1587988-11178-60-720.jpg)
Same procedure with mr surfacer for these nasty gaps.
![Album image #46 Album image #46](/albums/img/9/7/8/1587978-11178-19-720.jpg)
Gunsite will installed at the end.
![Album image #47 Album image #47](/albums/img/9/8/9/1587989-11178-12-720.jpg)
I was not happy how it looked out of the kit, so I dug in my spare photo etch and made some adjustments. The glass will be installed later on.
![Album image #48 Album image #48](/albums/img/9/9/0/1587990-11178-63-720.jpg)
Some Mr surfacer airbrushed on to check the seams.

The landing lights have a very visible ficture which I try to recreate using some copper wire. Here I'm getting ready to soder them together.
![Album image #56 Album image #56](/albums/img/9/9/7/1587997-11178-56-720.jpg)
![Album image #57 Album image #57](/albums/img/9/9/8/1587998-11178-17-720.jpg)
Trying to make even bents.
![Album image #58 Album image #58](/albums/img/9/9/9/1587999-11178-59-720.jpg)
![Album image #59 Album image #59](/albums/img/0/0/0/1588000-11178-95-720.jpg)
The endresult.
![Album image #60 Album image #60](/albums/img/0/0/2/1588002-11178-82-720.jpg)
After installing the landing lights I put on the covers which again need some cyano to fill the nasty gaps. These inserts in the wing don't fit that well. Certainly no Tamiya.
![Album image #61 Album image #61](/albums/img/0/0/3/1588003-11178-47-720.jpg)
Masking the canopy to get even lines.
![Album image #62 Album image #62](/albums/img/0/0/4/1588004-11178-62-720.jpg)
Cutting the unwanted parts.
![Album image #63 Album image #63](/albums/img/0/0/5/1588005-11178-88-720.jpg)
Some Maskol.
![Album image #64 Album image #64](/albums/img/0/0/7/1588007-11178-62-720.jpg)
And lastly a black undercoat which will be visible from the inside.
![Album image #65 Album image #65](/albums/img/0/0/1/1588001-11178-47-720.jpg)
Making my own lights.
![Album image #66 Album image #66](/albums/img/0/0/8/1588008-11178-79-720.jpg)
Again cyano to the resque.
![Album image #67 Album image #67](/albums/img/0/0/9/1588009-11178-42-720.jpg)
Filing everything flush.
![Album image #68 Album image #68](/albums/img/0/1/0/1588010-11178-49-720.jpg)
Some sanding of the transparency.
![Album image #69 Album image #69](/albums/img/0/1/1/1588011-11178-15-720.jpg)
And last polishing.
![Album image #70 Album image #70](/albums/img/0/1/2/1588012-11178-96-720.jpg)
There is an gap at the right side which I will get rid of with some plasticard.
![Album image #71 Album image #71](/albums/img/0/1/3/1588013-11178-83-720.jpg)
![Album image #72 Album image #72](/albums/img/0/1/4/1588014-11178-73-720.jpg)
White primer (ran out of grey primer). Next is fixing some last issues and then sanding in preparation before painting.
![Album image #73 Album image #73](/albums/img/0/1/5/1588015-11178-54-720.jpg)

Masking in preparation of painting the underside.
![Album image #87 Album image #87](/albums/img/0/2/9/1590029-11178-84-720.jpg)
All masked up.
![Album image #88 Album image #88](/albums/img/0/3/0/1590030-11178-36-720.jpg)

![Album image #91 Album image #91](/albums/img/0/3/2/1590032-11178-35-720.jpg)
Next up is painting most of the markings. For this I scanned the decalsheet and used this as a template for drawing the markings in illustrator. Then it was to the silhouette software and finally cutting them with my sillhouette Cameo 2.
![Album image #92 Album image #92](/albums/img/0/3/3/1590033-11178-35-720.jpg)
Came out pretty good.
![Album image #93 Album image #93](/albums/img/0/3/5/1590035-11178-16-720.jpg)
Upprer wing markings painted on. Next is the underside.
![Album image #94 Album image #94](/albums/img/8/8/2/1590882-11178-22-720.jpg)
A good masking job is the key.
![Album image #95 Album image #95](/albums/img/8/8/3/1590883-11178-11-720.jpg)
First the white.
![Album image #96 Album image #96](/albums/img/8/8/4/1590884-11178-99-720.jpg)
Followed by the red. I use Maskol to make sure there are no seams between the masks. Even the tiniest seam can ruin the paintjob.
![Album image #97 Album image #97](/albums/img/8/8/5/1590885-11178-96-720.jpg)
Next the blue.
![Album image #98 Album image #98](/albums/img/8/8/6/1590886-11178-14-720.jpg)
Et viola.
![Album image #99 Album image #99](/albums/img/8/8/7/1590887-11178-21-720.jpg)
Next up the fuselage markings.
![Album image #100 Album image #100](/albums/img/0/3/4/1592034-11178-39-720.jpg)
Time for the fuselage markings.
![Album image #101 Album image #101](/albums/img/0/3/5/1592035-11178-26-720.jpg)
First of is making sure that the markings are in the right spot. For this it's easy when you make your own masks. So I could make the simplified placing templates.
![Album image #102 Album image #102](/albums/img/0/3/6/1592036-11178-62-720.jpg)
After some fiddling the maks are in place.
![Album image #103 Album image #103](/albums/img/0/3/8/1592038-11178-70-720.jpg)
First up the letters with a neutral grey color.
![Album image #104 Album image #104](/albums/img/0/3/9/1592039-11178-27-720.jpg)
Then the roundels and tail. Beginning with the white basecoat.
![Album image #105 Album image #105](/albums/img/0/4/0/1592040-11178-46-720.jpg)
Followed by the yellow.
![Album image #106 Album image #106](/albums/img/0/4/1/1592041-11178-51-720.jpg)
Masking for the red and don't forget to use the Maskol to fill tiny unvisible seams.
![Album image #107 Album image #107](/albums/img/0/4/2/1592042-11178-40-720.jpg)
Followed by the bleu.
![Album image #108 Album image #108](/albums/img/0/4/3/1592043-11178-94-720.jpg)
Et viola.
![Album image #109 Album image #109](/albums/img/0/4/4/1592044-11178-76-720.jpg)
Looks good up close.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like we need luck when buying revell kits. I'm building the same kit and the join between the wing and fuselage have a gap of almost 1mm. Any way you also got the step down on the right side like I got. Nice work. Mine will be Dark Black πππ Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb | Album by jorgefk (1:32) photo 22 and 25

Slowly getting there.
Jorge, in picture 33 you can see what I did to get rid of the horrible 1mm gap. As for the step down on the right side, I hope the take care of that after glueing the wing to the fuselage. First I have to clean up and rescribe lost panel lines on the wing. Especially the gun inserts that have some nasty gaps around them.

Hi Eric. I thought the same as pict 33 but then you have to force the fuselage to open. You will loose the good fit of the rest of the wing which is very good. Anyway i believe you will manage it. The leadind edge of the wing realy needs work but I still think this kit it`s not bad.

What a fantastic build that is. Stunning paint and weathering detail. I'll be using this stunner as reference when I finally get round to building mine 🙂
