So for my final entry I'm gonna attempt this: Original kit was 1979 - this is a 1987 boxing. In all it's glory: On inspection only really 1 sink mark: (however if you are of a juvenile mind like me zoom in on the air scoop to the left of the IP..... ) Ready for some primer... Going to do the 85 squadron option (undersides half black/white). Although I have a Finnish hurricane in this scheme I kinda like it... Will be built totally OOB using the kit decals apart from the wing roundels which look real 'orrible - think I have something to replace them with in the spares box. From first impression seems a decent kit with very little flash and some clever engineering. I'll try and do a bit of detailing on the cockpit as the canopy for being so old is surprisingly clear. 1 question: from the above picture the part that "stands out" from the cockpit rear bulkhead - that's an armoured plate rather than a headrest (I think)?

Hi All, Now that I finally have an example of the new tool 1/48 scale Airfix Hawker Hurricane Mk.I kit with one more on the way I will be building them as P3166 of 85 Squadron, during August 1940 and P2961 of 242 Squadron, during a date as yet undecided. At some point I also hope to build at least another example of this kit representing P3576 of 249 Squadron, during 16 August 1940 as well. Anyway since the Hawker Hurricane Mk.I is my favourite British single engined monoplane fighter aircraft from the Second World War and since I also have little access to primary source information on the Hawker Hurricane. I was hoping some of you fine gentlemen and gentlewomen might be able to help me with information relating to my builds, on the occasions when my 17 magazines and 22 books on the subject are sometimes found wanting. Cheers, Daniel.
