Ratch Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 No. 151 Squadron, Wittering, 22/12/40 – April 1943. When 151 Sqn arrived at Wittering they were flying Hurricanes and had just completed a spell of night-flying training at Bramcote and was being re-equipped with Defiants. The squadron received Hurricane IIcs in June 1941. One was Z3467 DZ-Y. By January 1942 the squadron’s role had changed to convoy patrols along the east coast. The Hurricanes were retired in April 1942 when re-equipping with Mosquitos started, 151 Sqn moved to Colerne in Wiltshire a year later. This is the Revell (04144) 1/72 Hawker Hurricane IIc 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hi Ratch, I have never dared paint a plane black, as I have always been worried that it would end up looking like a lump of coal with wings... And I have seen models like that too. But not yours! In my eyes, your Hurricane looks just right. Congrats for building a night fighter that ends up looking like a night fighter! Did you have any issues with the over-engineering of the wings? What's next? Cheers JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Nice build. Looks very different in the night fighter scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thanks for your kind words guys jean, on 26 Jun 2016 - 8:36 PM, said: Did you have any issues with the over-engineering of the wings? What's next? No problem with the wings Jean. As I wanted the undercarriage retracted, I used some from my spares box. Not a perfect fit (a little fettling required) but they did the job. What's next? I'm currently working on some Historex figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Very nice indeed. Black seems to really suit the Hurricane. Must do one myself. I really like the Revell kit although I usually re-shape the prop blades a bit. Looks like you did the same from the photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
