Re: 60" Hawker Hurricane Looks nice. I would like to build a warplane like that just to hang on the ceiling just as a model. You can get stuff for aluminum called aluminum black but I would think some flat black paint would look closer to parkerizing, even high temp BBQ paint would work for a dull grey/ black finish. |

Re: 60" Hawker Hurricane Hi Mark: I know I take lowsy pictures, not on of my forte"s. I would call this build a "semi-scale" build at best. I built it for fun flying, it certainly isn't for any competition level. Your right about brownell's having the right colors, I didn't think I needed to go that level. The most intriguing part was a build that would fly well on 3S system, at 60" wingspan. That has yet to be determined with my Hurricane, but all others built have flown well. flytwice

Re: 60" Hawker Hurricane Hi fellas: No3 picture shows the cannon barrels painted blue/black!! It actually came out looking very close to a blued barrel. Back then, the cannons would have been parkerized, a cheaper, faster process with no glare! Sorry if my pics confused anybody, thought the difference in the pics was obvious! I would never leave the cannons natural aluminum. flytwice

Re: 60" Hawker Hurricane There are some paints/coatings available for aluminum to make it look like gun blue, or at least more authentic than machined aluminum. Try Brownell's in the US; they ship to Canada (they're gun parts people) and they've got all kinds of finishes for all kinds of metals in spray cans, some are bake-on... might be worth a shot. Or, a Sharpie might give them the right tone also.... you could try and experiment with some scrap pieces? |
