The Hurricane has come along quite a bit
Painting and Decals
With the metal parts done previously, I masked off and painted the fabric fuselage in the MRP Rubber. Unfortunately the idea with the yellow roundel overpainting didn't quite work as I over painted it too much, it's very faintly visible in person but not enough for the camera to see.
After that was done I went ahead and started chipping the wing, largely focusing on the wing root, leading edge and cannon access ports. This further helps make some interest on the monotone scheme.
After that it got a clear coat, and decals were applied. These are still settling down but overall worked well despite the highly riveted area around those wing roundels.
Currently while those decals settle down I've been meaning working on some of the crucial extra bits, the propeller has been mostly painted but the yellow tips are needing doing. The pre-order bonus resin cannons have been painted up too, and they simply slot into the wing without any issue and I won't even bother gluing them in since they fit nice and snug. The drop tanks have also been quickly painted up. The resin exhaust stacks are also under going paint, as well as the antenna and pitot tube on the sprue.
Soon it'll be time for weathering, which probably won't make a huge difference against the black background.
On the subject of the decals I'm not sure whether the letter codes are correct, I'll diverge to Arma Hobby's decision on this but the RAF BBMF have painted up a Hurricane in a later scheme that Kuttelwascher's BE581 had which had the codes on the right side still reading JX E rather than the E JX Arma says. I was exceedingly close to changing it around.
