First try of random splatter mask to break up uniform colour
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/1/7/3/855173-49481-24-720.jpg)
Quite pleased with affect but no sure it’s for the underside. Practise though
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/1/7/4/855174-49481-84-720.jpg)
Old skool lighter shade in middle of panels
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/2/3/9/855239-49481-86-720.jpg)
Second go with pattern
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/2/3/8/855238-49481-62-720.jpg)
Liking it more than on underside
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/2/4/0/855240-49481-40-720.jpg)
Still can’t freehand camo
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/2/4/1/855241-49481-58-720.jpg)
Quite pleased with initial results. Time for gloss then decals
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/6/2/5/857625-49481-35-720.jpg)
Scary decal setting
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/6/2/6/857626-49481-13-720.jpg)
Always best to practise on lower half first

Don't know what I've done to upset this kit but it's fighting me every way.
Not a lot seams to be fitting, hence a lot of filling sanding etc

Right it's me , must be as decals normally work great but having issue with the roundels, they go fine for 90% but some of the edges curl bunch leaving ridges once dry. Can't smooth out when wet as v v thin with the micro sol. Gues I know where chipping going to be, just hope the side roundels work better as can't chip canvas 🙂

Yep confirmed it's me messing the decals up. In the past I've got away flooding decals with micro sol but not this time as can be seen on wing. Use a little on the sides and decals worked fine. You live n learn

G'day SB, That's an outstanding build and diorama. If it fought you; then it's plain to see you fought back just as hard. A tremendous outcome. I've just received the 'latest' Airfix Hurricane Mk 1. I hope it's not from a tooling that's been churning them out since the 80s... Cheers, to your hard work! raafbloke

Excellent job. It looks like you won in the end. It certainly turned out better than mine.
