Work In Progress Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 They are many and varied. Here are some good ones, assuming you want RAF ones https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AOD720071 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AOD720072M https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72117 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72222 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72225 Couple of slightly more exotic ones here if you don;t mind cobbling up a tropical filter or adapting a Mark II one from somewhere https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72225 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72229 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 F/O Urbanowicz's 303 Squadron machine from the Sky sheet, RF-E, is captioned as from September 1940 so would be BoB period. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Also, the photo for Clowes' JX-B (here) is from October 1940 so would fit. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the sky decalss sheet but not sure if there is one on there. Cheers fellas mike there are several BoB Hurricane markings on the Sky Decals sheet Most of the ones with grey codes are, BUT, they are not the best researched, and the colours are often 'off' of the Xtradecal listed by WIP, https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72117 I don't recommend, as the VY-R decals are junk, as are the colour details these two are more recent, and had some input from Tony O Toole and myself, which was fine detail chasing and corrections. This was in a thread on here with the decal artist, but the pages seem to have been removed https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72222 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X72225 They look good, but I don't have them. The Aviology decals are very well researched, Terry from Avielogy posts here on occasion. HTH T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Okay, I'm curious, Where did you get the 1/72 tin wing Hurricane from? If only Airfix would have.......... But that's another can of worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have one yet, I'm thinking of adding the old Airfix outer wings to the new kit or maybe getting the freight dog conversion depending on which is the cheaper and easier option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
