1:72 Hurricane Mk.I Exhausts Fishtail type 3Dprint for Arma Hobby

Hurricane Mk.I – fishtail exhausts 1:72 (3D print)

This 3D-printed resin set from Art Scale replaces the plastic exhausts on models of the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not an aircraft kit but a detail accessory. The fishtail exhausts have thin, flat and hollow openings that are practically unattainable in plastic, and that is exactly where a faithful casting shows most.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was a British fighter powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. Early machines carried fishtail exhausts, later replaced by ejector ones. The set matches the Mk.I configuration and noticeably refines the sides of the engine cowling.

Building and painting tips

Carefully separate the parts from the print supports and clean them up. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Paint the exhausts with a combination of rusty brown and metal shades; pigments and a fine wash suit the burnt steel effect. Before fitting, check the seating in the fuselage dry.

Who the set is for

• modelers building the Hurricane Mk.I in 1:72
• anyone after faithful exhausts instead of plastic parts
• builders working with resin and 3D printing

The set contains only the resin exhausts. Glue, paints and the model are not included in the package.
