...a friend says this is probably one of the best kits ever. Hats off to you Gary, your productivity puts most of us to shame
That Hurricane is one of the very best model kits I have seen, and I have seen a LOT of them.
And to read that Arma Hobby started in someone's living room 10 years ago. They are the peer of the best now.
Top work Gary shes a beauty my old marra . Regards Gav.
Cheers marra!
the decal fits fine on the instrument panel btw
Even with all the relief? That's very interesting, because there must be either some stretch in the decal or they designed it knowing it would have to conform to the surface. Might see if I can ask them about that!
Your hawker is a corker mate ,superb Gary 👍🏻😊
Handsome model, very well put together Gary.
Hey Gary - great build, I’ve finished Airfix 1/72, another lovely kit and fantastic fun to build, regards Liam
One of my favourites that one Gary it looks lovely
Well done Gary another excellent job now I can’t make my mind up this or the sea king can’t afford both at moment
Looks great.
What a great model, well done Gary.
Reminds me very much of Eduard kits, lots of fiddly tiny pieces yearning for the carpet monster
An outstanding kit, an outstanding build, looks a treat.
It's little beauty Jim, really enjoyed it. Even the fiddly bits in the cockpit!
@@garys_stuff needed lot of PE!!
Hi Gary, that was a truly excellent build, the kit itself appeared to be a great kit, your painting was done to perfection,, congratulations on a job well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers Les! It is a great kit - Arma Hobby has played a blinder here...
Gary, youll find when you dry fit that parts 57/58 landing lights need to be swapped around as theyre mis numbered. Thats why your wing doesnt fit properly.
Yes, they suggest shaving down part of the structure too. It's on the errata sheet that I pointed out then entirely forgot.
Good result! Sadly the two 1/48 Hurricanes in the stash (Airfix & Hobby2000), mean this one won't be joining them, however, if/when the Sea Hurricane edition appears...
That is a superb build Gary.
Brilliant job mate ,I've got couple of the 1.72 Mustangs to do from arma hobby
You were right, Arma will sell loads of this one. I’m working my way to getting one. All the good stuff seems to show up at the same time.
Fantastic Gary. Really well done.
good vid nice build thanks lee
Amazing job, looks really good 👍🏻
Nice looking kit and a nice looking build. Well done!
Really enjoyable and informative build and an excellent finished project. I recently completed Arma Hobby’s 1/72 scale Mustang and tbh, it was ridiculously overly complex. Some of the decals could not be seen without a fairly strong magnifying glass - pointless. So after leaving a fair few out it built up into a lovely 1/72 representation. But I promised to stick to their 1/48 kits going forward!! Keep up the great work Gary! Really loving your show.
Thanks for sharing 😊
What an excellent build son 👍
I love it just fell together. I've got the Sea Hurricane in 1/72
It's a properly good kit, this one. If they do a real Sea Hurricane in 1/48 I may have to get that one too!
Great Build as always Gary, 1 problem I wish i didn't have to point out and which I also did. When you placed the fuselage on the wing you let the rear armour plate go to far back, the plate should be in front of the fuselage halves behind the seat. I hope the others building this kit will watch for that. Best regards keep up the good work. Andy
Thanks for the info!
Brilliant Gary, thank you. I have one on the way to do Stanford Tuck. I'm sure I will be referring to your build video many times.
It does build into a stunning model and is well engineered. The only thing is the sprue gates going into fine edges on some parts like the wings. I would recommend a razor saw to cut as closely to the edge of the part as possible then filing off the remainder of the gate. If you use a knife guarantied you will cut into the part at some time.
👍
Looks lovely. Hoping and praying they do a 1:48 of their delightful Yak-1b that I did a decent job of in 1:72.
Arma recommend shaving or removing some of the rear shelf for the landing light inserts - they are not quite right and will give fit issues for the wings. Well done and thanks for the video - this looks a cracking kit indeed!
Yes, it was on the errata sheet I told everyone to paste into their instructions then forget myself... It is an amazing kit - can't wait to see what they do next in 1/48 (maybe a P-51, maybe a P-39?)
Glad I found this video - I've the same kit & the Sea Hurricane version to build, I've noticed you did a lot of gluing with painted parts rather then the bare plastic was this an issue? Thanks for pointing out the pitfalls. Looks a great kit to build.
Wow that looks great mate so much so that l forgot it was a 1/48 l thought l was watching a 1/32 the level of detail this will be my next purchase l just knew this was going to be good 👍
Thing is Barry, you look at the top surface of the wing and all the detail there, but then remember I didn't do any panel washing. Just black primer, bit of highlighting then the top colour and all that detail still shows through.
That fuselage/wing fit is excellent. The Hasegawa 1/48 offering always gave me trouble there. I still think of that Hasegawa kit as "new". It's not. I'm just getting old....
Hi Gary did you varnish the kit before the decals went on as it looks very Matt on screen. Reason I ask is because I'm doing the beaver first in the group build and I've been having problems with the varnish peeling off when I use the the decal set even though the varnish and decal solutions are both ammo mig..??
Yes I did, I put on some Army Painter gloss but it dried more satin!
That cockpit frame assembly is light years away from the Fly models 1/32 Hurricane! Which has basically '0' engineering involved.. you kinda have to guess where things go! Hopefully one day someone will doe a decent 1/32 Hurricane with this level of engineering and detail.
Great build Gary. I’ve just received mine so watching your experience and tips has been very timely. One thing puzzles me though. If I have read the instructions correctly it tells us, it step 33, to fit the flame shields to option 2 only. Surely they would be fitted to the night fighter (option 1) rather than the day fighter? Well, when I do my JX-E it’s having flame shields whatevers!
It did puzzle me mate. I can see that for dawn patrols and whatever flame guards are good, but I think option 1 was more a night intruder than fighter - but then you've got to find the target at low level in pitch black so a flaming Merlin in your line of sight can't help in the avoidance of power cables and the like!
Odd isn’t it? I suppose the answer could be more prosaic. Given that, essentially, there was no difference between the “day” and “night versions” maybe Tuck’s squadron just happened to get one delivered that had flame shields. After all, there was a war on!
With the Mig Ammo One Shot primers how are you spraying them? I have so many clogging issues with them even following Mig's instructions. Do you thin them or have some magical needles size that doesn't clog? 😂
I thin them about 80/20 primer to thinner.
Nice build Gary,looks the job.But not for me as i need one and not loads of the same thing.
Now you see my dilemma. I prefer 48th or 32nd, and don't need 12 of them in my stash. It already takes up a 4x8 shelving unit, plus what's out on my desk 😜. Lots of recent good to great quality hurricanes, which to choose? Has to have a Polish squadron option, aftermarket if needed. She's going to be a dirty bird in her work clothes, so detail matters. Going to be a "take my time build".
Which would you choose for the one and only in the stash?
@@crazylocha2515I have done a 1/48 Polish one with as much aftermarket as possible. Dirty as it Was at the Battle of Britain.But thats it for me.I have enough room but i get bored with all the Mks ect.
Gary ol’boy what is “duraaluminin” and why do we need it?
Bob

Duraluminium (trade name Duralumin, often just called dural) is an alloy of aluminium and 3-5% copper, with traces of other elements such as magnesium and manganese. It's an age-hardening alloy, so after forging the piece is very slowly cooled to allow a process called precipitation hardening to take place within the metal structure. Dural has the lightness of aluminium but much better torsional stiffness and tensile strength, so works very well as a structural material for aircraft. Adding copper does make the surface more susceptible to corrosion, so an outer layer of high-purity aluminium is often applied to components. This aluminium cladding is known as alclad - probably why the paint was called that!
@@garys_stuff Gosh that is very complete! Thanks Gary
@@BobMuir100 my pleasure!
Is hurricane mk2 ?
Yes it's a Mk.IIc
Have just finished the Airfix version, wish I’d bought this kit instead. Had no end of trouble with warped and twisted parts, trying to get them to fit was a pain .Got there in the end and not a bad looking effort, just annoying and fiddly.Your kit looks far superior and better designed.
Hi Gary, now I got bored, don’t know why, you were your normal entertaining self, the model is fine so why the heck did I wander off?? Any one any thoughts?
Why don’t Airfix get their kits to fit as well as Arma? If they can then anyone who wants to can??!! Airfix do confuse me!!!
Great looking kit, well finished and deserves the big praise!!
