Birth of a legend.Hurricane prototype.


Recommended Posts

Hi folks hope you like my attempt at adding the prototype Hurricane to the collection.Part of a six plane stash clearance

build in WIP this is the first one done.Airfix new tool kit,no major work other than filling the exhaust aperture and using

decals(thanks Rick) and re-doing the early U/C doors as per this model.Not 100% accurate but I don,t count rivets!SDC11050_zps3a12106f.jpg

Nice one Steve,

Doesn`t it look nice in overall silver? You`ve built a lovely rendition of the `First of the Many',

Great Job,

Tony

I've had plans to add the prototype to my lineup of Hurricanes, but have been looking for that squared off canopy in vain. I don't think it is something I could fabricate with my limited skills, so I may have to wait until some aftermarket producer puts an actual conversion set together. Most of the required bits are in the Airfix kit, but not the canopy.

Many thank's folk's,one of the few kit's still on the shelf not boxed up or binned as it's one of my favourite's not 100% accurate but

one of the few I've modified,I,d love to see a dedicated 1/48 scale kit of this and the Spitfire prototype from Airfix.
