Another great demo, Jen, thanks for your efforts. The finished model looks spectacular, you have absolutely nailed it. From Premium Hobbies, one can buy sheets of pre-cut masking tape with circles starting at 1mm up to 7.6mm made by HIQ which should prove useful where compass cutters dare not tread.
Great heads up, thanks John!
Great build Jen that build turned out great that hurricane looks fantastic very .much enjoyed this series
Your Hurricane looks amazing, Jen! Really enjoyed both parts of your build videos on this kit, and they will be most helpful when it comes time to build mine. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. They are so chock-full of useful and clever modeling tips!
Very nice build. You are right - it does not need panel line wash.
A real proper job on all! The Arma kit looks the best, just saying.
A beautiful build Jen!
Thanks for all the detailed explanations.
Very helpful.
New subscriber here. Lovely airbrush work. I like what you got going here on your channel I will be regular viewer.
Beautifully done. I’d be very proud of producing a finish like this.
Your Hurricane is one of the best i've seen, very well done.
Great documentation of your research and painting process. Thank you.
It's another fantastic build video with great tips and techniques. I am leaning towards an all-black version as I love the red letters although the amazing surface detail will not be as prevalent. Fortunately, I had a short shot on my upper wings, so Arma sent a new set so now I have a true paint mule to try it out.
A light filter - wash with hemp or similar colour would bring the detail out on the black . Treat it similar to a black cockpit .
Great work Jen, that's a smashing looking Hurricane!
Great build and a very good scheme , very well done . Im getting the trop version in my christams stocking and i can not wait . Thanks for great videos. M
Most excellent video! 👍🏻👌🏼👏🏻
I've got a book with all the Hawker Hurricane serial numbers, but having a soft spot for "13", I'll go for one that carries that serial....😉😎
Looks soooo clean, excellent build and paint!
I have really enjoyed this build. Think you may have even enticed me to build one too! Like the cleaner look.
Thanks
Nice build! I'm hoping they'll release a IId version of this with some nice tropical schemes
great job Jen , nice to see it compared to the other kits at the end !
Great video, thank you
Splendid finish. Realy nice work on replicating the historical plane. So many people going for flashy effects and overdone weathering effects, You are really sticking out with historical accuracy. Greetings from Sweden.
Thanks a lot!
Amazing work, looks really great.
Lovely build, I hope mine will look half as good.
Nice research! 35:21 shows that the "A" has a brighter look to it - maybe even white, compared to the prefix code letters
@1:54:17 the pause just made think of million words that would fit the narrative but Jen just said the most fitting one. It made me laugh :D
An absolutely cracking build Jen, two thoroughly enjoyable videos as well. And what a kit! The Spit takes the glory, but the Hurricane makes me h*rny.😆Take it easy.🤘🏻😎 (And yes, CZcams made me edit this comment!)
This was a fantastic video! You are an excellent teacher. I hope you do that for a living. I really like your very detailed explanations and you don’t assume the viewer is thoroughly versed in every step of your technique. I also really liked the explanation of the Arma kits as compared to others and the comparison of the three kits. Excellent build as well. I’m not sure the painted decals are worth the effort. I did some painted US insignia the other day and I liked the Chartograph decals much better than my painted markings. But I definitely liked your description of how to make your own masks. I’ve already bought a couple products you used. I was hoping to see how you would weather the aircraft and learn from that. My personal feeling is that you left your excellent build and paint job a little wanting without some weathering. I’d like to hear your thoughts on that. Thank you and I hope you continue to invest your time with these videos.
The trouble with weathering is that it has become so subjective. Many modellers have a preference for a heavily weathered and beaten up appearance - regardless of the accuracy or lack thereof. My goal with this model (and almost all that I build) was to replicate the appearance I could SEE, in the photos. Stereotypical modeller weathering would not have achieved that. But, it's all down to personal choice ...
Best looking Hurricane on YT in my opinion, absolutely stunning 👍.
Very detailed presentation and a wonderfull kit.It's a pitty that in Greece we get the usual staff.Tamiya,Hasegawa,Airfix and so on.Jen i would like your oppinion about Matchbox kits.
absolutely brilliant, thank you very much.
I must be really good at painting, because all my models camo finishes end up looking like that, and I'm not even trying.😗
epic result thanksfor sharing
awesome job and video
Beautiful color scheme! CONGRATULATIONS!
Nicely done, thank you.🎯
Really enjoyed the build and painting of this kit in your video. I hadn't considered buying this kit but am seriously thinking of getting a copy in Telford when I'm over. The Hurricane really does look nice in Irish Air Corp colours 🤔
Thanks for your great presentation & build.
I very much like your explanations and demonstrations of your methods. And, your skill and techniques really showed in your finished model; very realistic and convincing!
Which brings me to another point. My dad was in the Air Force from WWII to Viet Nam, and I've been a keen observer of a/c since the 1950s--prop & jet.
The vast majority do NOT look dilapidated and unmaintained with regard to their finishes.
I understand the desire to build a realistic, convincing model that does not have a toy-like appearance. In my opinion however, the results have become way overdone & exaggerated, as if every plane has just returned from the Ploesti raid, having flown low-level through the burning oilfields, and having taken off from some desert airfield that just endured a sandstorm! And, the factory, MTU, or ground crew personnel all played tic-tac-toe with their black paint spray guns on the a/c before painting the camouflage! This is unrealistic and unconvincing. Are oil, fuel and exhaust carried rearward by the slipstream onto the plane? Yes. Do these stains extend to the wingtips? NO. Do these stains leave scale foot-wide streaks along all the panel lines? No way. Some of these model results are because the modelers do not have much first hand experience with what field service maintenance looks like. This can be corrected with careful research. Not all a/c were stationed on Guadalcanal, or in the desert. And, for those that were, they were not loaded down with dirt and grime in the cockpits and on the external surfaces; that would create both unacceptable performance and safety issues.
Here endeth the rant.
Roundabout way of saying, to my eye, you nailed it on your Hurricane.
Painting a model “in scale” is such an important concept.
Love the attention to detail that you put into your models.
Nice! 👍
Nice job mate ✌
No flying for that Hurri until you have found that reflector rattling about inside. Imagine it getting caught up in the controls!
ETA: That seems to be sorted
Gunsight is fixed and signed up, still missing the spade grip though!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this build, not my scale and therefore won't be getting one but the Arma P-39 of P5iB will be next on my bench. Have to finish my CF-104 first, in my opinion the best kit Hasegawa has ever done.
Cheers from that grumpy old Canadian guy.
Great video Jen! Currently building the Airfix Sea Hurricane in 1/48 so your comments at the end were particularly interesting!
Excellent painting and weathering work. I believe you have found the balance between realistically portraying scale brush-strokes and splotchy painted areas versus the perfectly airbrushed finishes modellers strive for. 😊 It is gorgeous and a finish to shoot for, in my book. I have to ask though, the wing roundels are asymmetrical - were they like that on LK-A or an oversight by you? I imagine the ground crew could have done it that way in their rush to get a frontline aircraft back in the fight during those troubled days of WWII. Anyway, thank you for this superb tutorial on building and painting a scale model. 🙏🏻
No, not deliberate at all, I messed it up. It was done purely in an effort to show that it's ok to make mistakes ..... ok not really, but I didn't realise I'd done it wrong until pointed out earlier in comments.
@@JenesisDesignsandModelcraft it’s not easy making a video of a build while building the model, Jen. To me it does not detract from all the good work you’ve put into the kit. Maybe later on you can do a follow-up video on fixing the wonky roundel? Or just enjoy it on display as it is, there are many other nice kits out there that need building. 😊 All the best.
i have to say that i realy enjoy watching your videos , especialy when you are building stuff. Excellent built.
A lovely build Jen and thanks for the tips on masking and getting some variation on the black undersides. I still fancy doing JX-E with camouflaged topsides and yellow wing leading edges even though, as you say, it may not have existed.
It does exist in the form of the BBMF Hurricane, so it's perfectly legitimate in that sense at least
As Jen says, do it as the BBMF with PZ865 serial. That does exist. There is no reason to believe BE581 ever had the camo top with black underside, as the night intruder scheme only came in later. 1 Sq stopped night opertaion in late May/June 42, went north and repainted their Hurricanes in Day Fight Scheme, there are some very famous press photos of this. The best explanation is a misinterpretation of photos of 1sq Hurricanes, in particular JX-Y, which was repainted in Day Fighter Scheme from black, and the undersides were badly prepared, with the Medium Sea Grey flaking off in big chunks. As an asid, teh HAse IIC she shows is another 'profile only' scheme, no-one has ever turned up a pic of A-A with the red elephant, and the uppers should be Dark Green/Dark Earth for SEAC. These profile all date back to the 1966 Aircraft in Profile on the Huricane IIC, and have just been recopied ever since.
Useful information. Thanks.
💪💪
Hi Jen, I thoroughly enjoyed these 2 videos, superb result. I have just one observation/question. is the upper wing roundel placement intentional? it looks like you used matching measurements to panel lines rather than mirrored measurements. right side looks correct, left side looks too far inboard.(or vise-versa)
100% correct analysis, yes I messed it up. And didn't notice until someone else commented on it too!
@JenesisDesignsandModelcraft so sorry if I've caused you extra work...! Regardless, it's a superb looking build.
great video and build as usual jen. fantastic. just one big glaring errort that i cant unsee now - the port upper wing roundels are too far inboard compared to the starboard, by a considerable degree so its very asymmetrical. maybe you located them from the wrong panel line or something. otherwise its fab.
So I read this and was confused. Then I checked the photos ...... ahem .... you are quite right, I have placed them in an unsymmetrical manner. I would like to claim it was deliberate, but no, I messed it up!
@@JenesisDesignsandModelcraft Same mistake could have been made on the real thing i guess. Not being perfect is what makes us human. 🙂
Impeccable! The build, the explanations and the kit as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed both videos. 👍
Arma Hobby have a winner. No doubt about that.
(And I agree with you regarding the competition.)
I don't know how much it would be of interest to you, but Arma do have another kit in 1:48th...
The PZL P.11c. A significant fighter from an historical standpoint. Maybe one day...
I have a PZL P.11 in 1/32 that I made from a resin kit, Montex I think. If it weren't for that then I may well have picked one up.
Really disappointed with how few hashtags this video has....
I will try harder in future ..
ARMA did a bait and switch on the introduction and preorder of this kit, ill never buy one even if they have it to me..
This release is now out of stock. The desert marked version is freely available both singly and in combos......
@@JenesisDesignsandModelcraft thanks, I suspect it will stay out of stock. I was very interested in the night fighter as it was only deployed in ETO. The kit you reference may not have the same variant option as the original kit had a few differences maybe same decals. I still don't trust ARMA So I have moved on to another kit, Tamyia Eduard and occasionally Airfix are my go to brands. Thanks again.
Many thanks for this great instructional video. Less is often more with weathering. To have an effect seen, but not noticed is a goal I seek.
