hurri op torch how to mark lines and panels

[Davide Calzolari]

 

where i'd mark some line of weathering with darker colors or... or where i'd could enlight soem panel to enfatize deepness of perception?

 

the model shows obviously  the old 32 sc revell hurri modified by me in op torch N.A  MK II b (i shall scratchbuild the vokes filter that in the old box of MK I is  not included ),so being with raised scale rivets,,there are not engraved lines that i'd use as guides

OK, so you are asking about Tropical Hurricane, not an Operation Torch Hurricane.

As far as I know ALL the Torch Hurricanes were Sea Hurricanes with US Stars.

 

These may help

Soon after Op Torch RAF Hurricane`s were flown from Gibraltar to French North Africa,.....most notably 43 Sqn. These were camouflaged in Dark Earth and Dark Green with light undersides,.....most likely Sky Blue. They were tropicalised and retained standard RAF markings. Here is one of them, en route across the Med with long range tanks fitted;

 

There do appear to have been some desert coloured ones (sen in the background of pics/films) but the majority wore temperate colours.
