I've just taken delivery of one of these kits. To say that I was blown away by the quality of the kit would be an understatement. Even more impressed with Arma Hobby when I contacted them after I found some damage to both the top and underside of the wings. I got in touch via their website on Thursday evening and had an email letting me know that the wings were in the post first thing Friday morning.
Learnt alot on this video thanks jamie. I used some oils on flat tamiya paint and couldn’t get it off even with thinners, looked a mess. After watching migs videos and yours i know now i need to varnish next time
Hi Jamie, your Hurricane build will now be my go to video for build and weathering techniques. The finished model is simply stunning. Love it! Look forward to your tutorial on designing and cutting masks.
Superb Jamie! I think that I might quickly throw together an old Tamiya 1/48 kit as a mule just to try out these techniques. Next year I'll be tackling a Kotare BoB Spitfire and I'd like to do it justice.
Great episode Jamie, what it showed me is subtlety makes it look a lot more realistic, and these weathering techniques are done in multiple layers I often have the urge to rush it at this point in the build because I can see the finish line, usually a mistake unfortunately.
Absolutely love the weathering Jamie. Great to follow your processes. I'm just getting into oils myself; just done Takom's 72nd Hood B turret, oil weathered (and clay wash also), and pleased with it. Have done a little oil on aircraft, but I still use such as Flory's wash, thinned and only concentrated where I want it heavier (such as panel lines) but I also add other shades and colours while it's all wet which seems to blend it and once dry, it all seems to work. It isn't nearly as good as your weathering, but at least it doesn't take a lot of time. I did like the use of oil streaks/stains on my recent Eduard 109G6 however -so I clearly need to use oils more! Looking forward to you doing armour again BTW!
Outstanding Jamie!!!! 👍.... yr video tutorials are just the absolute best there are.... particularly the way you explain yr techniques in wonderful detail....power to yr elbow sir..can't wait to see what you do with the Mk XIV Spit conversion nxt year Regards Howard
In addition to what I, ve already said Jamie, yr filter technique is a game changer for me... in video... never too sure how to do it but seeing yr video totally demystifyes the technique 👍regards Howard
Fantastic work Jamie, a piece of art. I have a question: after you’ve laid down the satin varnish you continue to weather the Hurricane with oils and filters, do you spray on a second coat of satin varnish on top of that?
Loving the build. Just excellent. I’ll be doing an Arma Hobby Hurricane Trop myself soon. The instructions say to paint the wheel wells the same color as the rest of the underside. Seems questionable; never seen that before. What would your take be on it?
Wow, just wow, what an epic build! It looks absolutely gorgeous. The weathering is so spot on. Amazing results, bravo!
Thanks mate

Satin varnish is the way ahead, there's just enough grip for the old but they can be manipulated easily too
Your layered weathering is pure art!
Thanks mate

Thank you for the deeper dive into weathering-much inspiration for my 72nd ones! The hurricane turned out beautiful!

Thanks mate
Very, very nice 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate

Thanks mate, Taking your time and letting the layers compliment each other is the key
This is just superb. Your best work on the channel so far. The step by step approach shown is very informative.
Thanks mate, it one of my favourites for sure
Really nice job 👍🏻

Thanks Tony, chuffed you got a lot out of them
Wow Jamie! You've outdone yourself. Bloody amazing work on this one.
Thanks mate, much appreciated
Hi Jamie great video on weathering will you be doing one on a RAF spitfire green and dark earth in the future as I have learned a lot John
Thanks mate, yes I will, in 1:32 scale. Coming very soon
In addition to what I, ve already said Jamie, yr filter technique is a game changer for me... in video... never too sure how to do it but seeing yr video totally demystifyes the technique
👍regards Howard
Thanks mate, glad you found it useful
Brilliant Jamie!...that turned out superb, great video series!
Thanks mate
Fantastic work Jamie, a piece of art. I have a question: after you’ve laid down the satin varnish you continue to weather the Hurricane with oils and filters, do you spray on a second coat of satin varnish on top of that?
Thanks mate. Sometimes I'll just spray a mist coat over the oil work locally, I may do an overall coast but it's rare.
Loving the build. Just excellent. I’ll be doing an Arma Hobby Hurricane Trop myself soon. The instructions say to paint the wheel wells the same color as the rest of the underside. Seems questionable; never seen that before. What would your take be on it?
Thanks mate. I'm not sure on the underside colour, I went with aluminium but with a tropical that may not be correct. I like the contrast.
