TerryUK Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 My friend is looking for replacement Decals for the old Monogram 1/32 Hawker Hurricane. Seems the decals in this kit where notoriously bad. The kit was in BP188 JV-Z 6 Sqn Egypt 1941 Markings. I had a good look around and other markings for the Mk IIc in 1/32 seem to be a bit thin on the ground. Any help with the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Terry Hi Terry AFAIK Monogram didn't do a 1/32nd Hurricane, though they might have reboxed the 1/32nd Revell kit. They did do a 1/48th Hurricane, with BP188 JV-Z, which is a IID NOT a IIC, underwing 40mm guns. Neither the 1/32 Revell or the 1/48th Hurricane were ever a IIC, the 1/32nd was reboxed as a IIC [added cannons and bulges, but not changed wing panels] The Monogram kit despite it's options, OOB was closest to a IIA [8 gun wing] So you might want to check which kit it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Hi Yep there is a monogram box of the revell 1:32, i have one in the stash somewhere, not jv-z as i recall. The 1:48 monogram hurricanes i have come with cannons for a IIc option, also the IId, and rockets for a IV Sorry i dont know about replacement decals.

Cheers Jerry The Revell/ Monogram box has a 73 sq option on the box top. The 1/48 Monogram Hurricane comes with IIc cannons, bombs, drop tanks, 40 mm cannons and rockets and plates, and claims to be be buildable as a IIC/IID/IV, BUT is closest to a IIA from the wing panels. The kit is classic 60's Monogram, working UC and lots of rivets. If it is the 1/48th kit then there are lots of decals, including JV-Z/BP188, but given the basic nature of the kit you could stick any mk II or IV decals on it if you are not concerned about accuracy of wing panels. A decent Hurricane could be done with a lot of work, though the 40mm cannons and drop tanks look pretty good, though I have not checked super carefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryUK Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi Troy and thanks for the reply. The Monogram Kit is indeed the 1/48th Hurricane, with BP188 JV-Z. Someone posted a similar problem on same post stating it was in 1/32!! I have solved the original problem with the Model Alliance Decal Hawker Hurricane in RAF and Commonwealth Service Part 2 in 1/48th! Seems the other builder has the 1998 Revell Hurricane mk2c kit in 1/32! And it seems he is the one now having problems finding replacement decals in 1/32. Having looked around i can`t find any. Thanks Again Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Again Terry Are my eyes getting steadily worse as I read this or am I just squinting? I`m a bit confused as to who needs what now but if anybody does need 1/32nd scale Hurricane decals then Tally Ho do a sheet for Mk.I`s which should provide enough roundels, codes and serials to build a decent Hurricane by cutting them up to mix and match what you need.

TerryUK Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks Tony, I will pass that on. No your eyes are fine! I was copy and pasting like a maniac from several pages in a frantic search. The guys on the Revell page confused me by double posting similar problems in the same thread only in different scales. #Sigh... The joys of being a page Admin!
