Hi All,
Another recent finish for me - Matchbox's old mk.IID tank buster with the underwing 40mm canons. Brush painted with Humbrol enamels and some Hataka acrylics. Although I'm not the best at weathering I wanted to give it a bit of a beating - so I did some weathering with various powders, a stippling brush and silver paint.
Asides from the silvering decals, I'm reasonably happy with it!
Thanks for taking a look!
Cheers!

Don’t look Albino to me. But it is purity.

Beautiful work from a beautiful kit, Stuart. Your painting techniques really are a perfect match for the kit design, but above and beyond that, the colors look spot on as well as perfectly applied. Not an easy task with brushes. Congratulations!

Nice job - I have a Hurricane in the stash and want to do 303 squadron. Great build.

Very nice! It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Matchbox kit. I never knew Hurricanes can be armed with cannon pods.

I’ve been wanting to find one. Too bad Airfix discontinued it. I, too, want to do it as 303 squadron.
