bobster Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Hi All, After accumulating some bits and bobs over the last few months, I'm aiming to build two or three Hurricanes. I'm planning on building an old tool Airfix Hurricane as one of Douglas Bader's machines flown with 242 Sqn(LE-T), plus an Airfix new tool fabric wing machine from 312 (Czech) Sqn (DU- B ), flown by Sergeant Josef Stehlik . This machine contributed to the squadron's first victory as described in the link here. I might build a third Hurricane using donor wings from an old tool kit and transplanting them onto a new tool Hurricane kit. Here are the kits: Hurricane kits by Bob, on Flickr Some aftermarket: Hurricane-1 by Bob, on Flickr Decals: Hurricane-3 by Bob, on Flickr Hurricane-6 by Bob, on Flickr Hurricane-4 by Bob, on Flickr and a bit of progress on the etch for the old tool kit: Hurricane-8 by Bob, on Flickr Cheers, Rob.

Cockpits: Hurricane_cockpits-1 by Bob, on Flickr Hurricane_cockpits_2-1 by Bob, on Flickr New tool Hurricane-1 by Bob, on Flickr And I have cut out and posed the elevators, ailerons, radiator flap and the rudder on the old tool kit as a bit of an experiment to add some interest and life to the model: Old tool Hurricane-1 by Bob, on Flickr Time to get building and painting...
