Dinky Custom restoration Hawker Hurricane MkII No. 718. Cast model. Electric motor propeller.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Today I am renewing the Howker Hurricane model from Dinky. I received this plane from a friend in England. The donor added a suspension with wheels and a cannon on the wings to the incomplete model. To display the subtitles in your language in the movie, please press C on the computer or the three dots on the mobile phone in the movie. I made the glass, which was also missing, out of Crystalline epoxy resin. As the model did not have a rack, which was normally located behind the pilot's cabin and was used to imitate sounds, I decided to develop this project with the installation of an electric motor with a battery. It is turned on with a switch located in the place of a non-existent rack. I bought the above parts without any problems in a model shop. I was also able to buy a propeller, almost identical to the original. I painted this plane quite similar to the original and recreated the non-existent decals. I also made a box, which is currently the largest box among refurbished models. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with the repair of cars on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Tik Tok: Paul Restorer.
Co za początek weekendu, co za odnowa...👍🏼✌🏼
Legenda lotnictwa i (wraz ze Spitfire'em) trzon Królewskich Sił Powietrznych 80 lat temu.
(Jeśli mam być szczery... wywołuje to uśmiech na sercu historyka wojskowości😎).
Świetna robota, Paul, jestem pod wrażeniem. (Zwłaszcza montaż silnika jest fantastyczny).
Dziękuję, że się z nami podzieliłeś, przyjacielu.
Życzę Wam i Waszym rodzinom udanego weekendu i bezpiecznego wypoczynku. Trzymaj się dobrej roboty 😎👍🏼
Pozdrowienia od zwariowanego staruszka z DIE CAST na wybrzeżu Morza Północnego.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
What a start to the weekend, what a restoration...👍🏼✌🏼
A flying legend and (along with the "Spitfire") the backbone of the Royal Air Force 80 years ago.
(If I'm honest... It makes a military historian's heart "jump for joy" 😎).
Great work Paul, I'm impressed. (Especially the installation of the engine is fantastic).
Thanks so much for sharing, mate.✌🏼
Have a great weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work 😎👍🏼.
Greetings from the DIE CAST crazy old man on the North Sea shore.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Was für ein Start ins Wochenende, was für eine Restaurierung...👍🏼✌🏼
Eine fliegende Legende und (zusammen mit der "Spitfire") das Rückgrat der Royal Air Force vor 80 Jahren.
(Wenn ich ehrlich bin... Da lacht das Herz eines Militärhistorikers😎)
Tolle Arbeit, Paul, ich bin beeindruckt. (Vor allem der Einbau des Motors ist phantastisch)
Vielen Dank fürs teilen mein Freund.
Dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Mach weiter so 😎👍🏼
Gruß vom DIE-CASTverrückten alten Mann an der Nordseeküste.
😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠
Vielen Dank Paul
Fantastic job on making the parts and the paint job. The addition of the battery powered propeller is just genius 👌 👍👩🔧
Thank you very much
Great job, nice that it's a hurricane flown by many brave Polish pilots.
Thank you very much
Love it! You ran around inside your house "flying" it, didn't you?
Yes I did...
Muito bacana 👏👏👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷
I would have!!
I would’ve
lol
Love how you did the camo freehand, no masking. Great job!
Thank you very much
Oh, how nostalgic! I had a Spitfire when I was child! When turn the propeller with fingers, the motor moves and the propeller continues to rotate!
Thank you very much
bonjour encore une belle réalisation.
L'ajout du moteur et de la batterie est très bien pensé.
Merci beaucoup.
Absolutely frigging brilliant restoration....................................................
Thank you very much
Really cool video 👍 nice to see you challenge your self with something a little different. Loved how you managed to fit all the electronics inside that was brilliant.
Thank you very much
IIRC, the slot behind the cockpit was for a thumb-wheel, which, when turned, made a clicking sound intended to emulate the guns firing.
That is exactly right. I used to have one of these as a kid. There was a spring inside that the cog/thumb wheel rubbed against as you turned it, creating the same sort of sound you got when clipping a playing card to your bike wheel.
Wow that is something differant..Fantastic job Paul
Thank you very much
Пол, ты молодец, такая игрушка мечта любого коллекционера, я прям влюбился в нее
Спасибо большое
Fantastic work Paul very impressed with it all, thank you,,
Thank you very much
That's very impressive lovely hurricane
Thank you very much
Wow!!! That is so amazing. The moving propeller is incredible. Awesome job Paul. You are a stellar master with your talent and creativity. Thanks so much for sharing. 💕😊💕🇺🇸
Thank you very much Joalla
on the tale, one stickers is upside down... its blue - white - red.... and on the tail there is 1 red- white - blue... but very nice indeed the plain !
I think there is no mistake. The red color is facing forward on both sides. Thats how its placed on the real aircraft
Thank you very much
The tail decals are correct
Nice job.
I used to have a Dinky Toys Spitfire that actually had a small motor in it from the factory. It used to take a very small battery that was housed under a plastic cover at the rear of the fuselage.
Thank you very much . Cool
Said it before, will say it again, '' Wouldn't believe these restorations if I hadn't seen them with my own eyes''.
I always try to watch one of these when I get 'internet time'. One day......I will have to have a go, though I am under no illusions, this must take vast amounts of knowledge of how materials behave and which to use, for what, and when, how, why ?
Thank you very much It seems to me that if you do a few tries, you will surely get very similar results. Greetings from Poland
That is a wonderful restoration Paul, were you tempted to change the markings to the 302 and 303 squadrons that were heroically flown by Polish pilots during the battle of Britain.
Thank you very much
The Polish DIDN'T Fly Hurricane MK 2c's .
Back in 1970-72 I had a marine spitfire with battery, motor and propeller. Wish I still had it 50 years on. Great restoration Paul, love the fact that you do the box, not seen anyone else do that. Subscribed.
Thank you very much
Muy buena restauración mi amigo Paul !! Like y saludos desde Argentina 🤩👍
Muchas gracias Walter
Hi Paul! Love the Planes! Have a good one!👍
Thank you very much Jimmy
Incredible custom work! Awesome you chose to do a diecast airplane this time. Love it! Thank you!
Thank you very much
Wow. I've got the same plane and model in exactly the pre-restoration condition that I've had for probably 42 years. It was one of my favourite childhood toys and to see how it looked when I first got was fantastic. Thank you for a great video and a wonderful trip down memory lane
Thank you very much Colin
As a child I had the same model, I think I remember a wheel behind the cockpit that, when rotated, imitated the sounds of the machine guns. Those wheels never did stay up though.
@@BoyneShark yes the wheel behind the cockpit is like a ratchet and imitates the guns. Mine still works. I think I pulled the wheels off as they just hung low and never stayed up
A perfect job! amazing paul
Thank you very much Paul
Has dejado el avión listo para volver a volar , paul tu agudeza e ingenio hace que parezca el trabajo más fácil, Enhorabuena.
Muchas gracias Juan
Best yet. Indistinguishable from magic. You are the master at this stuff old boy. How can I get pictures of my "free to a good home" play worn models to you to choose from? Regards Graham
Thank you very much. on instagram paul restorer
Fantastic restoration job. You and your hands are so talented. Making parts and putting a motor in for the propeller was an amazing move. You brought this plane back to life.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much
Great work Paul, did you get to make the machine gun noise.
LOL. Convinced you was a jeweller once. Greetings from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 😀
Thank you very much Peter
Toys were so much looker back then!!!
Yes of course
I like this die cast model plane very much I want for myself this plane. Nice work that's cool
Thank you very much Neil

Thank you very much Aleś
A beautiful restoration. Well done. Thank you for making this video and letting us escape the world about us, even for a short period of time.
Thank you very much
I used to work opposite meccano, dinky in binns Road Liverpool and used to get the models at low prices from the shop. Still got them in their boxes....Happy days...sad when they closed. They were more models than toys really because of the quality of them.
you already had a great location
@Paul Restorer I did indeed ......the sad thing was when dinky closed down the people were told by the bosses and they literally just walked out and left everything....for example if someone was eating their lunch in the canteen ..they just upped and left halfway through a sandwich. It was a sad end to a great company......I also knew the press officer for meccano, he told me that when Frank hornbybstarted the business ..and they wrote instruction books for the meccano kits, they would put mistakes in the instructions so that people would have to work out what thebprobl2m was and build it properly.....in hornbys words...it made engineers of the future......we have lost alot when dinky and meccano as was closed. Happy days thank you for the work you do on these. This stuff should not be forgotten.....
Wow an incredible restoration Paul, it’s better than new. 🇬🇧
Thank you very much
i remember playing with one as a child..........great work bringing this back to life
Cool. Thank you very much
Absolutely fabulous Paul…..love it..thank you
Thank you very much Val
Ficou lindo esse avião caro Paul, gostei muito de assistir!
Muito obrigado Mauricio
Great job. I like the spinning prop better than machine gun sounds. Keep up the great restorations.
Thank you very much
Excellent work,,, but,, maybe my OCD is coming out,, was still focused on the olive drab airbrush "spurts" on the wings and fuselage
thank you very much
Grande Paul 👍
Hey Paul love the Camouflage paint on the plane you did. James Moses Jr.
Paul you have got todo the dinky shadow 2 with upgrades like this fantastic work
I will try, thank you very much
Bravo. I thought for a moment I was in the Hawker factory. Very nice restoration. Love the motorization of the propeller. Nice touch. Don’t try a wheels up landing with this one. Ha! Fantastic work Paul.
Thank you very much Robert
Salut Paul, superbe restauration 😍 😍, Salutations de Suisse 🇨🇭 et à bientôt 👍.
Merci beaucoup Pedro
Nicely Done. What a transformation from what you started with 👍 . What’s next??😁.
Thank you very much. maybe some passenger
Splendide !!! Quel plaisir de voir une si belle résurrection de l'un des plus beaux avions Dinky Toys ! Bravo Paul.
Merci beaucoup
Классное преображение! Напоминает наши самолёты 1/72 времен СССР.
Большое спасибо
Wonderful job! The electrical part is installed very carefully! Great! 👍 :)
Thank you very much
Nice job was a shame the parts were missing, if you get some flat clock springs they are very useful when doing parts like the wheel springs you made from plastic👍
Thank you very much
Hammer einfach Mega ich bin immer wieder begeistert was Du Zaubers. 👍👍👍👍
Er hat bereits den gesamten Keller mit Regalen voller Matchbox- und Dinky-Kartons. Ich frage mich, ob er den Kram dann bei Ebay verkauft und ob sich das auch nur im Ansatz lohnt. Eher nicht. Die Kohle kommt vermutlich durch die Videos rein.
Vielen Dank Chris
I almost thought the plane was going to fly off! Thank you for sharing your art Paul. Stay safe.
Thank you very much
Amazing, with such attention to detail I’d have re-do wing roundels as they have a white edge
Thank you very much
Beautiful work! I was amazed by your casting of the canopy.
Thank you very much
Awesome kolego you are indeed a true "restorer" that is very nice 👍
Thank you very much
What an amazing restoration.! Really enjoyed watching this.
Thank you very much
Magnificent restoration Paul nice touch by adding a motor all the best Cheers Michael
Thank you very much Michael
Great job Paul, I think I had one of these when I was a kid 👍
Thank you very much . Cool
Paul - excellent restoration. Thanks
Thank you very much
Практически идеально, за исключением одного момента, что не понравился. - глянцевый лак. В остальном - идеально 😍
большое спасибо
a beautiful model of a beautiful plane
Wow!
Thank you very much
spectacular paint job that fade job was spot on. mind blown by you skill level yet again
Thank you very much Neil
Think you did a great job. Camo was always subject to change.
Thank you very much Roger
I had one of these! And the Stuka as well! Cool!
Nicely done spitfire next or lancaster bomber please .
Thank you. Cool
Класс!. Пауль, ты из Poland, а тебе не приходила в голову идея наклеить опознавательные знаки Польских Военно-Воздушных Сил? Я, думаю, так было интереснее.
Спасибо большое. Я думал об этом, но времени было слишком мало.
Святое дело - восстановление игрушек, особенно самолётов 👏👍👌💯💯💯💯😀
большое спасибо
Spectacular job , I saw the Battle of Britain film when it was first released I was about 6 years old. In the theatre lobby were spiral British and German flags hanging from the ceiling to represent the planes trails , seeing the one on the box brought back a memory . Cheers keep it up
Thank you very much
You even managed to replicate the box. Was especially impressed with the way you casted the canopy complete with details.
Thank you very much
Fantastic Hawker Hurricane , one of most underestimated planes of WW2 .... Great always Paul ❤️ 👍
Thank you very much Jerry
What a nifty conversion of a childs' toy. Certain its a one off now. Thanks for sharing your efforts.
Thank you very much
Wow , that's a fantastic restoration Hawker Hurricane airplane project , my friend . The work at the body and the finishing and preparing for painting is really great . The electrical part with the engine is also amazing . The final result with the painting and the functional engine is really fantastic . What a great project , my friend and thank you so much for sharing !🏅🏆🎩👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much
Awesome job. I mean really great, the end result look fantastic. And the update is genius. I couldn’t imagine how thrilled I’d be to have this as a boy. (But it looks like it would’ve been too expensive for me! )
Thank you very much
Brilliant. The hi-light for me is the detail in the cockpit glass, amazing work.
Thank you very much Jason
Mega impressed with the canopy Paul, great job.
Thank you very nmuch
Hervorragende Arbeit! Es fehlt nur noch ein Paul Restorer Shop, in dem man restaurierte Modelle käuflich erwerben kann.
Vielen Dank Ralf
I remember having one of these … they were a game changer at the time. If I recall correctly then they also did a Spitfire and a German JU-87 “Stuka”
Great to see someone with your skills bringing these loved toys back to life … thank you 😊
Thank you very much
Excellent job 👍
Thank you very much
Восхитительно! Отличная работа! Вторая жизнь модельки самолёта!
большое спасибо
Phenomenal 👍❤️ This is excellent. All it needed was the video to fade out with that propeller spinning. 👍🖖🙏
Thank you very much
I never knew this one existed. Thank you.
EXCELLENT! I HAVE 9 OF THESE DIE CAST AIRPLANES. THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS THE PRICE THEY ASK FOR THEM. I KEEP MY EYE OPEN FOR THEM AND BUY THEM WHEN I HAPPEN ACROSS THEM. YOU DID AN EXCELLENT RECOVERY OF THIS ONE.
Thank you very much
Excellent. My Dinky Hurricane from 1973 had yellow tips to the prop blades.
Thank you very much
Very well executed, and I love that you motorized it. Half expected it to take off and fly!
Thank you very much Ralph
Un altro capolavoro! Grande Paul 😎😎😎
Grazie mille
The original Dinky Hurricane had a wheel behind the cockpit that sounded like a gun when you turned it.
Nice work!
Thank you very much
Too many critics out there Paul...
Great 👍👍 Job!! Love the whole execution of the motor and battery installation...
You are just a wizard with golden hands! Korbka is super! It's a lot of work.
Thank you very much
Nice job! I restored one of these into a mark 1 Battle of Britain era. I deleted the cannons and filled the ratchet slot behind the canopy. I painted it a similar livery as the Dinky Spitfire and also modified the propeller to look more appropriate for a mark 1.
Cool
So beautiful idea for this car
Thank you very much
Great restoration. Very nice model in a beautifull box
This was so awesome..way better that those "abandoned" cars.
Thank you very much
Excellent paul
Absolutely love your work
Bringing back so many memories
Cheers mate
Love from 🇨🇦
Thank you very much
