A former colleague of mine was a Hurribomber pilot of 113 Squadron flying these in Burma. The pics I saw of his aircraft had very well defined jet black exhaust flumes curving along the fuselage influenced by the airflow over the wing root. All their aircraft were seriously underpowered clapped-out former Battle of Britain Hurries worked extremely hard in high temperature and humidity. Possibly the reason for the heavy exhaust staining.
Hi Greg! I really enjoyed this Hurricane build, I'm tempted to get one of my own now and give it a go. I love your strait forward and honest approach to you video builds which helps us model makers a lot. Cheers mate and all the best. I look forward to seeing your next build.
Great job Greg, it's always good to watch your videos especially when they feature some of my favorite aircraft. The Hurricane was an amazing aircraft and has always been my favourite underdog, a true workhorse during WW2. Keep up the good work and best wishes from NZ.
HEY GREG , I LOVE HOW YOU SHOW THE MISTAKES AS WELL MY FRIEND. LORD KNOWS WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF THEM WITH OUR MODELS . ORIGINAL, PLEASANT AND FUN TO WATCH WITH SOME NICE SKILFUL TRICKS . WELL DONE THAT MAN 👌
Once again, spectacular clean work and execution. Definitely work to aspire too. Thankyou for sharing your talent with us mere modelling mortals. Best wishes
So glad you did this one Greg...stunning work, i have the mk2 c (not trop) in my stash with the full trumpeter pe, yahu instrument panel and hgw sutton q k harness and will be using your vid as inspiration...thankyou for sharing.
Great build, even seeing the model cockpit parts, reminded me of some of the parts we found when we dug up a Sea Hurricane, fuel tank sender, cockpit frame, parts of fuel tank with sender and some instrument faces. Another great job from you! Thanks.
Superb job as always. The skid-mark wheel method made me spit out my tea. Apart from getting said tea all over my legs, the video was thoroughly enjoyable!.
Hi Greg, beautiful build and love the detail and desert paint scheme for this model. I was surprised to see the Hurricane artwork at the start of the video, brought back some great memories of my training many years ago. I often passed this artwork in the corridor and looked at the detail and presentation of the aircraft project. That was such a great course and taught by some great tutors. I have recently rediscovered this hobby and the training all those years ago has both helped and aided in the painting of my own work. Best wishes to yourself and I look forward to future builds.
Hi Greg. Thank you so much for renewing my long lost passion for building and painting scale aircraft models. A no nonsense direct approach and your, dare I say it service dry sense of humour has inspired my beyond belief . I can't say how much I enjoy watching your CZcams videos. At long last i can make a confident start on the huge hoard of aircraft kits stashed away in the loft. Bless you mate👍👍👍😜
Hey Greg, I've watched loads of professional modelers videos, but I ended up finding them boring. I think your video really stands out from all of these, because the way you made it make anyone feel closer to the method, because it is made with no pretension but the result is absolutely great. Thank you
I've build Mk.Ia 2 years ago in sq.303 markings (made custom masks + used Techmod decals for squadron insignia, also used Yahu panel). It is surprisingly simple yet nice fitting kit. I would love to build another one. Mk.IIc looks tempting :)
I recently built the Airfix 1/24 Hurricane....brought back lovely memories of 1977 when I was fifteen and building it for the first time.. It doesn't have to be Tamiya standard, using modelling skills is what its about. Love your builds.
I always do my valve covers with high polished testors enamel. They come out really beautiful and look in scale. It's one of the only things I paint with it but sometimes I do the oil pan. You will love it when you do it.
another great video Greg ,I really enjoy your work and always look forward to your work when you post . Your attention to detail and the tips you offer are wonderful and I try to reach the same result as you, but not always succeeding .
Greg, all my respect for you, and for a well done modelling work. Is the most beautiful, impressive, and amazing Tropical Hurricane model, that I see. Excelent skills. Thanks for this great video 👌👌👌👌. Greetings from Guatemala, the Land of Quetzal Bird, simbol of Freedom.
BRAVO GREG!!! This Hurricane is Really Awesome!!! Your approach to Weathering is What I Hope other modelers would embrace. The Weathering is There But NOT IN YOUR FACE as you said. I look at some models and all I see is the Weathering FIRST which Catches my Eyes....All the other parts of the model are LOST because of TOO Much Weathering. LESS Is Best. But Weathering is Subjective and Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.... The paint and painted markings, utilizing as much of the kit Out of the Box yet adding detail and CORRECTING areas of the model that has Fit issues and you taking the time to show us what You did to correct them Thank You!!! I Never gave a 1/24 scale model a thought.. This Hurricane, Yeah I'll buy it, Build it!!! Thank You for the Build and review. Blessings Darrell Killingsworth
That is a fabulous model, the add-ons really help especially the cannon and IP. I did the Mk IID much along the same lines, with masked and sprayed markings. I know how much work you've had there, but it is so superior to "dekkles". Love the Trumpy "First Ard" stencil. And the "skidder" quip. OMG. Anyways congrats on a fine build.
Hi Greg, I don't know why this video came up on my stream, but I recognised your excellent Hurricane illustration imediately. You gave me my first job in Manchester creating parts illustrations for BAE! Loving your work on this model.
Aww BAE systems "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"😂 Nice to hear from you and thanks for the comment hope you're doing well, stay safe mucker😎
Hi That was a great tutorial, thanks very much... Good to have a full build with just talking and without the garish music in the background. Looks superb
one of the very best of this mark i have ever seen. you might want to show abut more of the cockpit in your finish photographs. it’s the heart of every bird. i am a pilot and my eyes go there first.
Nice poster there in the thumbnail! '89 too! 🙂 At that time I was scratch building a Hurricane in 1:22nd scale. Cardboard, fabric and stuff... There is something very appealing in these interwar early monoplanes. And I've learned some new words today: 'pottering' and 'deedering'... At first I thought it had something to do with pottery. 😀 (By the way I would have burnished the guns. That way the assembly would have been trouble free.)
I love your technique Sir...and your taste for subtle weathering, exhaust and gun stains! Most nowadays tend to overdo this even on much smaller scales. New fan and subscriber from the Philippines here!
Nice build. I like the idea of the lighter shade under the top coat, and sanding. As others have noted, I have this puppy in my stash and want to do it as a Soviet Lend Lease aircraft. I played IL-2 Sturmovik for a good long while and the Hurricane IIC was my favourite allied supplied aircraft.
Hi Greg great build like you said the nightfighter at conninsby looks menacing just down the road Often have a look and now the big lady's back from Duxford my bucket list grows shame engine was hidden my airfix as you say top bonnet panel removes as well as sides but the fit on yours was top notch great job keep up the great work always enjoyed many thanks stay safe jon
I throughly enjoyed this build. I bought a plotter to cut out masking for letters and have used it often on the larger scale builds. I converted the Tamiya Spitfire Mark IX kit into one with Israeli markings. I'm looking forward to your next builds.
Hi Greg, I see Phil Flory has started the 1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane all of a sudden. I personally think this build inspired him, he even has the same AM cannons. It has certainly inspired me, I’m building the P-40 in British desert markings after seeing this build. Loved it. Jase 🇬🇧
Nice as always! One small point on painting the doghouse & wooden parts to show possible wear. All these parts were covered in red doped linen, the same as all other fabric covered parts, so the colour under the camo paint is pretty similar to red lead. The same holds true for most fabric coverings, eg the wings and controls on a Chipmunk.

The pics I saw of his aircraft had very well defined jet black exhaust flumes curving along the fuselage influenced by the airflow over the wing root.

Excellent result, Greg! I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the great model building & painting tips!
You are a true artist and a Craftsman the way you put that cockpit together I'm impressed!
Another first class built Greg. Always something to learn from you. Thanks for sharing your skills.😊

Very informative and interesting techniques with a no nonsense narration.Treatment of tyres was a new one for me.Thanks.

Really impressive build. Loved the color scheme and weathering.
I’ve got this in my stash. I’m glad I’ve got the chance to watch you first 😉
Your build looks great 😀
Normally tend to watch tank builds but thoroughly enjoyed this one!! Absolutely beautiful!
Congrats, Greg. One of the best looking 1/24 Hurricane I've seen around. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Beautiful model - thanks for filming the build + paint process.
HEY GREG , I LOVE HOW YOU SHOW THE MISTAKES AS WELL MY FRIEND. LORD KNOWS WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF THEM WITH OUR MODELS . ORIGINAL, PLEASANT AND FUN TO WATCH WITH SOME NICE SKILFUL TRICKS . WELL DONE THAT MAN 👌
That is a fantastic result. What a good looking model you built!
Excellent stuff, I happen to be doing the Mk1 Trumpeter Hurricane in this scale right now. So it was nice to see your angle on it. Top job!
You’ve got some skills sir. I’ve watched a few of yours now and you show me how far I still have to come. Keep em coming!
Your models look pretty damned good to me.
An utter masterclass of building a model with surgical precision…. 👍
Very nice. Thanks for that. Very useful to see the way you painted the exhausts and did the exhaust stains.
Superb build especially impressed with the home made masks fro the markings - Brilliant
Once again, spectacular clean work and execution. Definitely work to aspire too. Thankyou for sharing your talent with us mere modelling mortals. Best wishes

Excellent build! I built the Airfix version of the BoB Hurri a while back, and I am impressed with the quality of this kit.
Another wonderful build.

Nice Build. Thanks loads for all the tips. Well done.
Very informative. Nicely done!
Superb work mate. I start mine this weekend..
Very good job !! congratulations ...
Great work Greg.
BRAVO GREG!!!
This Hurricane is Really Awesome!!! Your approach to Weathering is What I Hope other modelers would embrace.

Cheers Darrell 👍
The understated weathering is generally a more effective technique. 😊
Very well done!
As always: outstanding job... 😎
David R Lentz, USA
Top notch job of it, mate! A hearty round of applause!
you have a eye for this.... amazing..
Thank you😎
Another beautiful result! You should do some short “technique” videos as your building, painting and weathering techniques are next level.
Oh yes, please! I wish me some technique-videos too.
Greetings from Germany!

Thank you my friend 👍

I also share your love for Hurricanes over Spits, @@GregsModels!
love you vids keep up the good work
Spectacular!
Nice build. I like the idea of the lighter shade under the top coat, and sanding. As others have noted, I have this puppy in my stash and want to do it as a Soviet Lend Lease aircraft. I played IL-2 Sturmovik for a good long while and the Hurricane IIC was my favourite allied supplied aircraft.
I considered the Russian Hurricane, should look impressive in this scale.
Great video
Effing brilliant!
Superb!
Hi Greg great build like you said the nightfighter at conninsby looks menacing just down the road Often have a look and now the big lady's back from Duxford my bucket list grows shame engine was hidden my airfix as you say top bonnet panel removes as well as sides but the fit on yours was top notch great job keep up the great work always enjoyed many thanks stay safe jon
Thanks Jon 👍
I throughly enjoyed this build. I bought a plotter to cut out masking for letters and have used it often on the larger scale builds. I converted the Tamiya Spitfire Mark IX kit into one with Israeli markings. I'm looking forward to your next builds.

Hi Greg,
I see Phil Flory has started the 1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane all of a sudden.
I personally think this build inspired him, he even has the same AM cannons.
It has certainly inspired me, I’m building the P-40 in British desert markings after seeing this build.
Loved it.
Jase 🇬🇧
I love the P-40, especially the Kittyhawk, a beautiful aeroplane.
Semplicemente STUPENDO modello 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 dettagli fantastici ed enfatizzati come nella realtà 👍👍👍👍👍 ancora complimenti
excellent build
Nice work!
Utterly amazing
Beautiful build brother!
Cheers Shawn 👍
Great work Greg. Fantastic detailed build. Amazing Huriccane. Greetings. Aleš 😎👌
Hi Ales, loving your MB-200 build 👍
