Graham Boak Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I don't recall any such weathered transfers from Frog. Please enlighten. I strongly suspect the split of the unit codes should not have happened on the port sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I only can remember weathered transfers by Fine Molds (on their 1/72 Bf.109F-4 trop) 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm getting confused with the dual markings for the Hurricane IIC which included the red-doped repair patches? The problem is I'm relying on memory and I'm too far from home to check.

P3090 W*8E is definitely correct, photo p78 AB Squadrons of the Fleet Air Arm (760 Sqn at Yeovilton), as is V7421 W*2D, as modelled by Tony O'Toole I was under the impression that the FAA kept the letter/number code sequence the same on both sides, the roundel split could be between 1st/2nd or 2nd/3rd but the code read the same port and stbd; whereas the RAF kept the 2 letter squadron identifier together and this could be before or after the roundel depending on space available. ie FAA code could read A1*B or A*1B, but not B*A1 and RAF code could read AB*C or C*AB, but not A*BC (standard or generally accepted practice, barring the odd exception or error applying codes) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fin Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I have to applaud this! Especially cool that they included Agarici`s n.3 Hurricane. I see there are 5 spoke wheels included too which reduces the need for aftermarkets. Unfortunately, in addition to this and the two changes noted on the Arma Hobby site (antenna mast and lack of the right side access panel) in order to build a proper Romanian Hurricane (one of the British delivered machines) one still needs a Spitfire DeHavilland propeller (which I understand is not part of the AH kit) and the old style bead and ring gun-sight.

jpl Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Arma Hobby in that kit used two kinds of propeller and three spinners. I'm not fully sure, but I hope one of that propellers is DeHavilland (because spinner from Spitfire is in the kit, for sure). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Finnish and Romanian Hurricanes need the DH Spitfire prop. Arma Hobby show sprues and there is no other variant of propellers than previous. So, maybe set of Quickboost 72 166 will help? I mean blades? Edited November 3, 2019 by jpl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, maybe set of Quickboost 72 166 will help? I mean blades? I think the blades are the same, the spinner is slightly bigger at the rear, as the Spitfire has a bigger nosering. Various Spitfire kits come with alternate spinners and props, which is a traditional source! the Airfix Mk.I/II kit does, but if you want a Spitfire II you can use a the Spitfire type Rotol in a Hurricane kit for a swap. A resin De Havilland Spitfire spinner should be OK if the kit it is meant for has the correct size nose ring, some AM is for specific kits, and meant to fit them, if the kit is wrong, the AM is wrong.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
