Corgi Warbirds Brothers Hurricane

So the Brothers Hurricane has no guns. My question to the experts, is the gun bay usually part of a decal sheet or something that has to be painted on?

Re: Corgi Warbirds Brothers Hurricane

Never seen it as part of a decal sheet, panzer. Good thing is the red rectangular area is fairly easy to mask off and paint, and small enough you can get away with hand painting rather that breaking out the airbrush. Also, you don't have to paint in the 4 barrel holes on each side if you don't want to. Those weren't exposed until the guns were fired.

Re: Corgi Warbirds Brothers Hurricane

Thanks no4, I figured it would have to be painted on. Seems to me adding the individual gun barrels would be a real b1tch.

Re: Corgi Warbirds Brothers Hurricane

The holes would take a steady hand, but if you don't want to paint them you may be able to get away with using a very fine tipped black marker. If you mess up and you're quick they may even wipe off easily. Remember they are actually holes ripped by bullets through the red fabric panel rather than exposed barrels so they don't have to be perfect in roundness, just evenly spaced.

Re: Corgi Warbirds Brothers Hurricane

If you are intent on adding the gunports, I think no4mkit has the right idea. Let us know how it turns out.
