Two 1/72 Airfix Mk.I Hurricanes - One finished and in the Gallery
My original intention was to build two 1/48 Hurricanes for this GB but I've ended up up with three GBs on at the same time - 'Made in Britain', 'P-47 Thunderbolt' and this one.

I haven't made a Hurricane since I was a kid so it's perhaps better that I try something in 1/72nd anyway - I made three 1/
This weekend it was time to get this project underway - I've almost got the Tamiya Crusader finished in the Made in Britain GB and my Tamiya P-47D is progressing reasonably well over in the P-47 Thunderbolt GB.

I know most people have seen the sprues loads of times by now but just in case someone hasn't!:
Decals for both:
