There were some Hurricanes around the place that were painted silver and looked quite smart, but it seems there was but one airframe that got the full buffed up natural metal finish treatment.
V6787 was with the Rhodesian Airforce, and as I understand it, took part in a Battle of Britain memorial flight in September 45.
Other Hurricanes got the silver paint treatment, but this one - the squadron leaders plane- got the works.
I can't resist a nmf build, and having picked up a kit...
I came up with a plan to avoid the dreaded brown and green splodges.
Somehow, I managed to find one other picture of the little beauty, on the ground at " RAF Cranbourne, Rhodesia", and bless me, it portrays the starboard side!!
It was meant to be, right??
