A fine repaint Huub:applause:

I was hoping to see a few RAF repaints but as yet there is only 1 I'm aware of.

Hi Roger,

I'm a bit confuse as the JF package for FSX contains several RAF versions for the model with the two bladed propeller. I think you are mixed this model with the "old" Aeroplane Heaven Hurricane which was released as freeware. When my memory is correct that only contained one livery (111 squadron) for the two bladed propeller model.

When you want to have some extra RAF liveries for that model, I can have a look, as this model is much easier to repaint than the FSX version. As I need to make a the basic textures first (layered paintkit) it will take a while as there are a few other models I would like to repaint first.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Hi Huub,

I was hoping for a few more RAF repaints with the new paint kit that Bazz supplied for the FsX version without the "rain washed" effect.

Roger, I didn't use the paint kit but is this the kind of thing you were looking for?

Thanks chaps.
There are some issues. Don't look too closely at the camo join lines. I got tired of trying to line them up perfectly, I really have no patience (Although it is a proper attempt at a paint scheme B). I couldn't find where the black disc texture behind the prop or the pitot(!) probe under the left wing are, and I'm not sure if you can do an accurate black underside left wing paint for RST's aircraft on this Mk 1 so I left it all sky underneath. They have been uploaded to FlightSim.com and unless I've made an error in the upload they should be available hopefully sometime Thursday.
 
Just found your paints up on Allnodes Nick.. very nice indeed;) If you ever feel the urge to paint 7L or any of the current flying UK examples.. I'll be more than happy to keep filling the hangar:very_drunk:

Nick, after 2 repaint for the JF Hurricane I know hoe difficult it is too repaint this aircraft. Therefore I fully understand how difficult is must have been to finish 4 repaints! As each each flap has a repeating texture it is impossible to do an accurate repaint with a black and a white wing and a silver lower fuselage. It is however possible to create a livery where the border between black and white is over the center line of the aircraft. However when you try to put numbers on the lower wing you will find out that they will become distorted :dizzy:.

I did one early RAF Hurricane for my friend Roger, but I considered it not good enough to upload it. The same is valid for the Belgian Hurricane. I did it for Dumenceau, but its just not up to the standard I try to maintain.

Do well done Nick, I'm really looking forward to fly your repaints as the model really deserves some nice repaints.

Cheers,
Huub

 
First off, thanks to Huub for a great repaint!

Next thanks to Nick for his multi-pack of Hurri repaints and they're great!

Thanks chaps, I'm very glad that you like them.
There are a few more that I would like to have a go at including the early version with black under the left wing. I will have a look at 7L but the camo pattern on that one is a reversal of the one I've done so might take a while.
It's always nice to see your repaint in someone else's screenshots so thanks Roger and DaveSHQ. Particularly like Roger's clouds, not default I'm guessing.
Huub, can't see what's wrong with L1574, are you being too critical?

Going to have a look at the JF Spitfire that came in the BoB package when I get bored with this Hurricane, but that might be awhile.

Cheers.

Not completely true. On the 2nd of March 1940 3 Belgian Hurricanes intercepted a German Do.17 which was flying over (still) neutral Belgium. And there is a record which states the Hurricane H-23 got damaged when it intercepted some He111 on the 10th of May 1940.



Bazz, I don't think the "handful of enthusiastic re-skinners" make the real difference in sales, but the people who decide to purchase after they have seen one of their favourite models in their favourite livery. Posting images of re-skinned models is free advertising for the model.

Cheers,
Huub

the key insight on the importance of a decent paintkit....it cant be stated any more clearly
 
Yup.. I think that's true. I'd have had a go at a number of paints for it had the PK been more user friendly but I took one look and backed off.

Nick.. thanks for taking a look at 7L. Camo isn't my favourite style and given how the PK is put together.. it was a definite no-no for me. I looked around for shots of G-HURR yesterday and found plenty. It always looked very distinctive at airshows wearing it's all black livery with red spinner. I'd forgotten though that it crashed a few years ago killing the pilot and while it looks like a straight forward paint.. I'm not sure how you'd feel about painting it knowing how it ended. I'd have second thoughts too.

Here's my first WIP. A standard Mk.1 from 249 Sqdn 'C Charlie', RAF Church Fenton in October 1940. And yes the camo's a *** (and worse....).

PS - I think this is the inverted camo mentioned earlier??
