A BoB build cannot just be a Spitfire it has to have its partner a Hurricane therefore my Hurricane subject will be a 85 Sqdn Hurricane Mk1 The core of this build will be the Airfix Hurricane Mk1 (Fabric Wings) , and I have ordered the AllyCat Tin Wing conversion. 85 Sqdn was based at RAF Debden flying Hurricanes at the start of the War , they moved to France as part of the BEF , they lost all but 4 of their aircraft in the 1st months of the war , on return to Debden they refitted and were operational again by early June. June and July were spent at Debden before moving to Croydon then CastleCamps finally they were rotated upto Church Fenton in Yorkshire in September.

Hello everyone.. Im presenting my Airfix 1/72 Hurricane Mk.1. I built it using Alleycats metal wing resin conversion. It is part one of two kits built to represent defenders of Malta. The 2nd is a Mk.Vb Spitfire which will get its own RFI soon. This Mk.1 Hurricane is V7101 flown in the defence of Malta, by Flt.Lt. George burges of 69 Squadron. I started this project in September of last year. I used this Thread, https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235043421-69-squadron-malta-hurricane/ to confirm some information. Im quite pleased with the kit overall and will be building more. You will note two odd things about the markings. One the distinct lack of serial & the red patches on the wings. The decals for both were sadly destroyed in a desktop accident. I spilled rubbing alcohol over my desk and obliterated all the decals. I was able to make-up the roundels and flashes, but that is it. As far as i know the real plane carried no codes. If someone knows different i could attempt to add them. The red gun swatches are Tamiya tape cut to size and painted. Without further talk here is my Hurricane. I hope this meets with everyones approval ? Questions, comments, and or jokes ? Dennis
