Hello This profile is among the decal options in Fly's Sea Hurricane IIC in 1/32. I have yet to see a photo of this scheme. Have you? And besides: shouldn't there be D-day stripes on the wings as well? Torgeir

Yes, that is another questionable point: The 1 IAF reportedly were using Hurricane IIBs during the Imphal-battle. At least according to information at the Bharat-Rakshak-webpage.

Thank you. This seems to be a rather well educated guess which may give just sufficient motivation for a build ;). In the profiles the AC is usually depicted in day fighter colours wearing Dark Green/Ocean Grey upper surfaces. This is a deviation from the regulation colours of SEAC. In the profiles it also lacks the tropical filter. If this was the case it should make it a little bit more likely that it was also painted in the "European scheme". Just curious: what was the story? I have seen the profiles, and also have the decals for it.

Hello I'm building a Hasegawa Hurricane IIC, and would like to paint it in the markings of 1. Sqn RIAF with the "A * A" codes, serials KZ 352 and the red elephant for nose art. I even have the Montex masks for this scheme. Now, the problem is reference. Despite having been looking for photographic evidence for ten years I have yet to see a photo of this machine. I suspect the scheme stems from an old and unconfirmed profile, probably in Mason's old book on the Hurricane. Anyone? Regards Torgeir E.
