"Woody" Woodward's Hurricane Mk 1 trop., 33 Squadron, Egypt
"Woody" Vernon Crompton Woodward DFC and Bar RAF (22 December 1916 – 26 May 2000) was a Canadian fighter pilot and flying ace with the Royal Air Force during World War II. With 18 and 4 shared destroyed, 2 unconfirmed destroyed, 3 probable's, and 11 damaged, Woodward tied Henry Wallace McLeod as Canada's second highest scoring pilot of the war.
This is Ark's 1/48 poor quality mish-mashed copy of both the Hasegawa, and the old Airfix kits, and it's completion requires a high degree of stubbornness (IMHO).
It's finished in Tamiya and Aeromaster acrylics, and weathered with pastels and oils.
Thanks for looking,
Colin
Trust @tail-dragon, the modeler who wields a sledgehammer the way the rest of us employ a #11 Xacto, to beat the enemy into submission yet again. 🙂
Trust me, a sledge hammer was a very great temptation with this kit!
Excellent model in desert camo.
Liked it a lot Colin!
Congratulations of tackling tjis challenging kit, Colin and coming up with such a superb result!
You did an excellent job on this kit, Colin @tail-dragon
Seems you were sufficiently stubborn to turn this one into a beautiful Hurricane.
Excellent work Colin.
Seems the Hase Hurrricanes are being released again under the Hobby 2000 labels
Yes, so far all I've seen is 2 Mk I a's, and 2 Mk II a's. Which is good, but I haven't seen the Mk II b or the Mk II d (40mm canon anti-tank one)
Your "stubbornness" paid off and you have a very fine model. Looks great. Woody would be proud.
A real beauty! Looks fantastic.
A great looking Hurricane!
Looks great, Collin (@tail-dragon). I tried an Ark kit once and didn't get very far. You have brought out the best in this kit. Well done.
great work with this not the best kit!
