Hello Everyone... This is the first of two Hurricane IIc’s Ive been working on since Late November. It is night intruder LK*A BE500 of 87 squadron piloted by W/CDR Smallwood. It represents the aircraft after the rushed re-paints for Operation Jubilee in August 1942. Ive had a lot of good help from many people including Mike @72modeler trying to get this one right. I do hope you think it looks right. There isn't a WIP for this or the other Hurricane they were fill-in builds while working on other projects. Questions, comments, and or thoughts ? Dennis

I have reached a lull in my current builds and am suffering from Idle Hands syndrome. So, inspired by @Steve60's output and style on his Airfix nostalgia epic, I decided to have a similarly straightup go at this old beauty. Also it's an encouragement for @Nikolay Polyakovto take another shot at the Deuce, after the first one stalled. My kit came in a bag, so no box artwork but you'll probably recognise the B&W picture at the top of the instructions. .... which are very simple.... The first thing I found in the bag was a one piece embossed sign rather nicely done,, and I foiled it, just for the practice. The real fiddly bit of the build is the 6 missile racks, and with all parts stripped from the sprues and tossed in a bag, I thought I'd better find them, count them and get them assembled. All present and correct... The cockpit is no exotic work of art, I tried with some belts and a small extension of the seat and reshaped the headrest So as it stands, that's in and the fuselage sides are together complete with intakes and ramps, and the tail end part. So far so good 😎
