Hi folks here,s the third of my old Airfix 1/48 Hurricane,s.Factory fresh in Rumanian colours. Been a fun build but a bit of fatigue setting in towards the end so last one until next years GB.I managed to loose the two number 1 decals which should be present on each lower wing but they will turn up soon so will be added,decals were pretty good but I painted the red and yellow on the tail and only used the blue portion of the decal as the fit was poor as a one piece offering.thanks for looking and all the feedback over all my hurricane builds over the last few months.

Great job on this old gem,looks superb.

They don,t come any better than that! beautiful build and finish.Welcome to the forum.

Beautiful "scooter" always loved the twin seat model and that,s a great scheme.

Another stunning example of this kit here, lovely work and a beauty of a scheme too!

Cracking pair of cobra,s.

A Stunning build and diorama Stix, apart from the Spitfire itself I,m impressed with those figures,as has been said the scene is very alive!

A couple of very nicely done Spits,very attractive schemes too.

Agree with previous comments,superb build and finish.

That is a superb Phantom,looks great in that scheme!

Thanks Serge,despite the attempts of our respective media we are all brother modelers and glad you and Ex Prompt are there to keep us informed on a vitally important era in Russian history!

Strange as wings pallette have a profile of this aircraft with exactly the same lettering,but I suppose it would be like posting Bader,s aircraft with the wrong codes to us British Modelers.

Thanks Ex Prompt,from what I can translate from your post the decal manufacturer has got it totally wrong. apologies to our Russian members!

Thanks Tony, should be in RFI tomorrow just worked it out at 12 in 72, 3 in 48 and one in 24 scale in 18 months so a bit Hurricane fatigue setting in so that will be it till next year,s GB. for that one I am thinking of another 1/24 Airfix kit in Irish air corps colours.

What an absolutely beautiful piece,I,m not a maritime modeler but definitely inspired to get this kit which to be honest I hav,nt seen in any of my LMS,s.Great job Smudge!

Cracking build especially for a first attempt,well done.

That,s one of the best Phantom,s I,ve seen in any scheme,superb job!

Excellent build and finish!

That,s a lovely Marauder,great job.

That,s superb! Beautiful scheme.

Excellent thread,excellent builds!

Hi folks sorry for the delay posted Russian version in RFI and hope to have Rumanian one done tonight.

Hi folks,here,s Airfix,s Hurricane in 1/48 built to represent a MKII in Russian service,thanks to info supplied by Troy I have altered the kit,s spinner by simply using putty and sanding to a shape more representative of this mark,also scribed new panel lines to cover the extra four guns carried and added their detail on the wing leading edge.The model is 2mm to short has a different tail wheel( which I have had a go at) and there are other details not correct but for a £6:99 kit I,ve enjoyed building three of them with only the Rumanian version left to finish which I hope to post tomorrow.thanks for looking build info below,thanks for looking! http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234967231-airfix-148-hurricane-raf-rumanian-russian/

Cracking job,beautifully painted.

That,s very impressive,beautiful metal finish,
