Hurricane MK1 Upavon 1940


Recommended Posts

Hi folks,as the title suggests this machine was apparently based there in 1940,it only exists as a profile I have in an old issue

of MAI.an earlier thread I started failed to bring forth anything about it,however our resident team of Hurricane experts did

suggest that it,s serial would suggest a fabric winged model.I think it may have been used in calibration flights,I just loved the

yellow undersides! Airfix,s lovely new tool kit used.many thanks for looking.SDC11808_zps74363f39.jpgSDC11807_zps3d8c32f9.jpgSDC11801_zpseddfb827.jpgSDC11800_zpsd7ad4692.jpgSDC11796_zpsef267242.jpgSDC11793_zpse0c10865.jpgSDC11792_zpsacf2cfef.jpg

Very nice Steve, as always! Yellow seems to work remarkably well on the underside - I would never have thought so unless you'd shown it does. Great stuff!

A great Hurri that you've built. Is the yellow of the Humbrol variety ? (you've done a great job with a colour I have big problems brush painting... but that's just me!).

Fantastic
