It does build into a decent kit, some aftermarket or scratchbuilding would sort out the detailing if the builder so wished.
yes i completely agree
I once had a kit made by a no-face company called 'Zozee Toys'. This was a 1/48 scale kit. It cost 8 dollars, 4 pounds in UK. It was quite literally a snap kit. It just was mostly just snapping together the parts. It was like 30% glue only. It had decent detail and basically no flash. The only flash I found was on the inside of parts. Pretty good for a nobody company.
sounds like a fun product!
No seat belts and no pilot figure is a deal breaker, I won’t be wanting to make this kit, but great video as usual 👍🇬🇧🌈
Thanks 😊 yes I would have like decal seatbelts as a minimum
At this scale I'd almost argue extra fabric seatbelts are a necessity, but that WOULD increase the cost of the kit and I suspect Revell was aiming for the more budget minded with this one...
Why no pilot figure? I'm seeing more kits not including the pilot figure. That sucks..
Fantastic Job Model Minutes! You have done a great job on this large-scale Hurricane kit. I curious to know if you ever intended to make a diorama for it? With a set of 54mm (1/32 scale) RAF pilot or ground crew figures. Or for that matter make a 1/32 scale Supermarine Spitfire kit?
It seems like a must for a scale model aircraft builder. Build a model of a Hawker Hurricane. Then you must make a model of a Supermarine Spitfire, or vice versa. Anyway, keep up the great work.
lol I could build a diorama for it in the future I suppose, but I ran out of space for projects a long time ago haha
@@ModelMinutes that is a dam shame but sadly a real problem for the average scale modeller. Once one makes a model........the available shelf space is quickly consumed!
@@ShuttleFactoryScaleModels very true 😂
Im always a bit disappointed when a kit doesnt have options for gear up/down, baffles me.
I like the chipping technique, thats a new one for me! Thanks for the vid
Yeah, why wouldn’t you have the option to display the model in the way it was designed to be used 😂
I’m not sold on the chipping yet, think I need more practice
I enjoy what I guess is the essence of this hobby which is putting things together, so a low part count won't cut it for me.
Having said that, I think one need always factor in the price and I guess a kit this large with good quality, fit and detail is priced accordingly and reasonably, Italeri's new Macchi MC 202 has double the price tag and what you'd expect, lots of parts, PE, 3d decals and lots of other goodies.
Size costs and detail costs and so a manufacturer may choose to offer a kit to people who value size and aren't injterested in extra detail and the price tag that goes with it.
That's how most of us ventured out nto the world of 1/32 at first, with cheaper kits who's price reflected the extra size only.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊
I think that is a very wise look at the world of modelling. I'm from the era when photo etch wasn't around,and if you wanted extras, you scratch build them as best as you can. I've watched a couple of build videos today where most of the PE and 3D printed extras were almost invisible once the kit was finished, but effectively doubled the price of the kit.
Hey Matt, you forgot to take the masking off the landing lights........:} :}. Great vid.
Haha yes I did! Fortunately I remembered right at the end of the video
hello dear all
😊
The Hurricane MK2B fought against the Luftwaffe planes. Besides the Spitfire too. RAF ❤😊🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💯🤗🤩😍 very nice model fighter plane i like it so far.
Thanks! :D
Great build and warthunder is amazing a great sponsor
Thanks! Yes, I was fortunate they wanted to sponsor this video 😊
Lo farò, comprerò le cinture e le maschere per i trasparenti, sto iniziando il Mustang, sempre in 1/32,stessa filosofia e sta riuscendo benissimo!!!
Good to hear you are enjoying the Mustang 😊
Hello. Her is no seat belts? It's a little bit "dommage" because youre cockpit it's very complete and we'll done. I seen the Arma Hobby Hurricane in 1/48 scale made by plasmo- plastic models. But the one of Revell look better in 1/32 scale. Beautiful done. I use the booth too bomb spay and airbrush too. Like you I seen. Have a good Sunday. pierrelebelgeapau. I have a TH-cam channel but only for music. Maybe I'm gone buy a camera and make some films. Excuse my english languish but it's not my motherlangegeese. I'm speek and reed normally french. Haha. Good day
thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked my model :D
I know you were selfcritiquing about the chipping, but on a matt black night fighter, it's going to look quite contrasty shall we say, and I think it looked realistically done. I'd have to google for images but I would think the four outboard Brownings would have the red muzzle cover patches over the muzzles, not broken through as you portray them here. Eleven out of ten for the stretched sprue aerial wire, I bet that's a skill most modellers don't even know about! Well filmed, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Thanks! I went off the instructions for the markings on the outboard MGs and they were off-centre on those. If I'm honest, I'm not sure that all MkIIbs had those panels marked so leaving them off could be an option
good point; I meant they were all fully patched over, rather than the alignment of the square patches to the muzzles, my poor English sorry! I think this was because they fired from an open bolt in .303", so the patch was there to prevent overcooling of the guns@@ModelMinutes but that's a very very minor detail old boy.
Nice build as normal but the fit looks crap for a new kit, the fitment of the gun barrel sections on the leading edge of the wings is a fucking war crime on a 1/32 kit which Revell should really know to do better by now...
They seemed a little small so probably I pushed them in too far
@ModelMinutes definitely not your fault, just looks like revell not being careful enough with kit tolerancing. Keep up the good work 👍
@@coreyward9000 thanks 😊
I watched on Paul Restorer restoration of the Hurricane Mk2b die cast metal model it turned out nicely.
I'll have to look that one up!
If they sold out twice, why do they need to offer a 60% discount??? Advert in between video for ‘bear skin hoodie’. Six zip pockets on the front, 10 extra pockets on the front and sides, this ensures you never find your keys when you need them 😂🇬🇧🌈
Lol I’ve seen that one on TH-cam, it is certainly a jacket with a lot of features 😂
It’s just you tube shoving loads of pointless ads
@@modelmagic9930 well, if people pay for the ads then TH-cam will push them out lol
@@ModelMinutes yeah true lol
Thank you for sharing; What type of Spray Booth may you be using?
Thanks for watching! I can’t remember the exact type but they are easily found online (it is the collapsing kind with a vent that can be attached at the back
@@ModelMinutes cheers, thank you
amazing build!, also im am happy to see your channel growing with the sponsor, i was wondering, if you have free time and no ideas i would recommend some tanks, i would say the airfix 1/72 tiger 1 i a good start, you did a amazing job 👍
Thanks! Yes, I'd like to do some more armour in the future :D
Excellent commentary and excellent build!!!! I prefer modeling shows like yours. Again, keep up the good work!!!!
Awesome, thank you!
Great video Matt! A couple of thoughts:
I agree with your comment about the chipping being a /bit/ overboard - especially being a night fighter I think the ground crew would repaint anything that might reflect any ambient light.
You didn't mention you masked and painted the landing light clear parts.. I'm assuming with translucent paints?
Given that as you said there is no flying mode I think it's a bit disappointing kit has no flat spots on the tyres.
Re the lack of engine detail and the engine being obscured. I think the cowling on top is a separate piece so if a modeller chose it could be removed to show the engine inside - perhaps as part of a diorama with mechanics working on the engine?
Thanks :)
For the navigation parts i painted the internal areas and left the clear parts paint-free. But yes, having fully round tyres would require modification to make them look like they are under weight on the ground.
The engine cowling part could be left off, but then an engine would need to be built from scratch (i'm not sure an aftermarket exists yet?) as there is no included engine in the kit, just those mounting points for the exhausts pipes
Decals look very good
yeah, being from cartograph they are excellent
Agree with you on the pilot issue, I personally like to put crew in as they give an immediate sense of scale and it's fun to paint them to get them looking life-like too.
Turned out really nice another fun build . Well done 👍 .
Thanks 👍 glad you liked it :D
Too much detail in places that are not needed and not in the places that are needed.
Yes, it does fee a bit of a mis-match
Love airfix as they got me into modeling, BUT I do think they have become tunnel visioned. how many Spitfires, huricanes, Lancasters have they released? Spitfire mk 1, 2, & V have been done to death, yet TSR2 the last hope for the British only aircraft industry has had just 2 kits , the 1/72 ( to be honest a reasonable if small) not available in over 14 years, and in 1/48 (a problematic kit with fit and delail issues) not available in 10 years (though released as the short run STRATOS 4 with extra parts) . with 2025 and the 60th aniversary of TSR2 succesfull 24 flights and shameful axing, just round the corner, its a shame airfix havent announced a new laser scan kit or even just the rerelease of the existing kits. ok the 1/48 had fit issues, that hasnt stopped them rereleasing their vintage kits line many of which hav fit, flash and detail issues. how about a poll to see if anyone else would like a TSR2 rerelease or scan release !!! but then would Airfix listen ? I have built airfix spitfires and me 109s in 1/72,48,35,24 scales. i have seen them sink to the low of rereleasing the same time over and over , same kit new decals instead of one release and then decal sheets, TSR2 needs a new release, maybe 1/35.
They way I understand it, the popular kits like the spitfire etc are the money earners which generate the revenue that allows them to create other kits like the swift, walrus, their new range of 1/35 vehicles etc
It just takes time for them to get around to designing and producing all the models that people want
Now you’ll have to try 1/18 scale aircraft
any suggestions? I've got my Airfix Hellcat, Spitfire and Hurricanes in 1/24 to do . . .
Hobby Boss have a range of 1/18 kits could be a good excuse to buy a new kit for go big or go home.
Completed the 1/18 109E was pretty easy
Your lucky Mat, I was just going to mention the landing lights and you fixed them...😆😆😆
haha yeah! Glad I noticed lol
Not stalking you honest, watching your channel while working on my Mac - Just have to point out in your Hurricane build - You are drilling holes in the red gun port cover decals with a VERY SHARP KNIFE WITH YOUR FINGERS BEHIND THE DECAL!!! I am just pointing this out as a safety issue - many people watch your channel and I wouldn't want them to follow your example. I have learned from bitter (and painful!) experience to keep my precious pinkies out of the way as far as possible from sharp tools. I still manage to cut myself occasionally (recently on the edge of a piece of brass etched frame, bloody hurt!) but I will generally place any items that need cutting or drilling on a cutting mat, scrap wood or cardboard for safety. I think it would be a good idea for you to mention this in one of your future builds, the funny thing about 'common sense' is it ain't so common!
I think in the past couple of years i have only stabbed myself twice with my knife whilst modelling. Sometimes I use a safer method of cutting with a knife but it is hard to get the angle right with a camera in the way - in these cases I may not actually be applying a great deal of pressure (or enough to hurt myself) merely to give an impression of the action that I am having to take.
People should of course take their own precautions and techniques into consideration to ensure that they are keeping themselves safe
@@ModelMinutes 'I know what I'm doing!' Famous last words! I do appreciate the camera angle thing, I just think you have to be careful as an influencer, you could get someone coming back at you saying 'He did it like that on his video so I thought it must be safe'. Just saying if nothing else, you need to cover yourself.
Cool video and great build with the lights on the plane do you think there would be room for l.e.d's for more effect and somewhere for a battery compartment like a button battery pack ?
Yes, definitely, there is a lot of space inside the model given the large scale
@@ModelMinutes ah thats cool much to think about for my next big build and thank you for the reply
Nicely modelled chairs on this model . . .
:)
Came out nicely in terms of the paint and weathering but for a 32nd scale kit it is a bit too simple, unless you want to build something bigger that isn't overly technical in nature because you don't want to deal with all the fiddly parts a smaller well detailed kit would have. I've just got back into building WW2 72nd scale fighters and I've lost or broken many smaller parts.
thanks for sharing!
Hurricane flaps and area were all silver.
Really? I just followed the instructions from Revell and they said they were green
Try using rubber and tires paint I don't know what brand but it works really well on the wheels 😅
Thanks for the tip!
