CPNGROATS Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 At last a start on my contribution, I have opened the box and splashed a bit of paint and glue around. A couple of shots of the cockpit. Kiwi: A nice bit of splashing I'd say..just think what it would look like if you took your time... Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexwh773 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Nice cockpit, what kit is it? Er Im getting worried about you Sis, think you need eyes testing again If you read the title you might find that its the cockpit from OK 1 which was Sir Keith Parks Hurricane personal toy And this version is looking rather nice so far Bex Edited July 17, 2008 by bexwh773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwh773 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) I know that but is it a 1:48, 1:72, Tamiya, Airfix? Well its a plastic kit and from the cockpit Id say its probably 48th........... that help Bex EDIT: On second glance might even be 32nd or 24th Edited July 17, 2008 by bexwh773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwichappers Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for compliments people. Hasegawa 1/48 kit. Daz do you have any more pctures of OK 1, as they seem to be thin on the ground for a significant aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Hi mate. That's the only pic I found of OK 1 while surfing the internet. I couldn't find anymore mate sorry. Edited July 17, 2008 by daz greenwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurrinut Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Found this whilst surfing hope it helps That's a still photograph of the MkII used in the Battle of Britain film, as Trevor Howard's (AVM Park) Hurricane. Notice the six stack exhausts, large De-Havilland spinner with wide prop blades and EE Lightning in the background on the right. The film makers have put the K on the wrong side of the roundel when you compare it to Daz' photograph and to me it looks like the codes, on the real machine are in white and not the usual Medium Sea Grey. Which they do appear to have got right for the film but they are too large! Edited July 19, 2008 by Hurrinut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test Graham Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That's a Mk.II. I suspect this is a warbird marked up for somefilm or TV programme. And that's another Hurricane in the background, which suggests a fairly recent photo despite the poor colour quality. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 It's Hurricane PZ865 when it was G-AMAU, during the making of the BoB film. There was also a replica marked up the same way which is apprently privately owned in NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
