Fin Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Does anyone know if there is any difference between the plastic included in the 70021 Hurricane Mk I Trop: https://www.armahobby.com/70021-hurricane-mk-i-trop-model-kit.html And those of previous editions, like 70019 Hurricane Mk I Expert Set: https://www.armahobby.com/70019-hurricane-mk-i-expert-set.html or they`re actually the same sprues with diferrent decals (pe, maks etc.).

Wojtek Bulhak Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Here are markings from the kit: Hurricane Mk.I V7118/ UZ-V, 306 Squadron PAF. Tern Hill, March 1941. Hurricane Mk.I V6941/ WX-W, 302 Squadron PAF. Northolt, October 1940. Hurricane Mk.I P3707/ NN-A, 310 (Czechoslovak) Squadron RAF. Duxford, October 1940. Hurricane Mk.I XR-S, 71 Eagle Squadron RAF. Serial overpainted, probably P3664. Kirton-in-Lindsey, March 1941. Pilot F/O Stanley Michel "Mike" Kolendorski. Last one is especially interesting: US Citizen of Polish origin, US crest (decal No 24) on the right side of cowling, Polish insignia under cockpit. Many thanks for Grzegorz Cieliszak for research. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I notice that there are two sets of stencils and IPs on the decals. Does that mean its going to be a double kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, Arma have given extra stencil sets in other kits with just one set of mouldings. If you've bought a few sets of overtrees then they're really handy as you can use them to make a second option from the decals sheet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for Grzegorz Cieliszak for research. Kolendorski's plane was not known until now. The markings are based on snapshots from the film, which in various versions can be found online. http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/view/5c0c05b8e10443c9a48f184fec0ebb35?subClipIn=00:00:00&subClipOut=00:01:21 https://www.britishpathe.com/video/VLVAB9BL7QBKU57KY6PVB2UKBT5RF-DEFENCE-AMERICAN-PILOTS-FROM-EAGLE-SQUADRON-AND-CZECH-PILOTS/query/eagle Edited April 11, 2021 by Bigos 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be used for Unit/Theatre I.D. ? Thats the first I’ve ever heard/seen those ? Edited May 8, 2021 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jan_cz Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Another version coming soon! 🙂 This time it is Hurricane Mk. I Trop "Western Desert". For now all that we know is that it will have 3 RAF markings and one Free French (depicted on the box art). My guess at the smaller ones on the side is that it might be No. 73/208/274 sqn with a blue lightning (possibly the 208th) N. 73 sqn TP-S, V7455 and one more White 6 FFAF, Z4426 It complements nicely the earlier boxing of Mk. I Trop, which features the P3731 "J" that was on HMS Argus and flew over Malta 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan_cz Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Arma has added the schemes to the Hurricane Mk I Trop 'Western Desert' Z4615/ 6 Groupe de Chasse "Alsace", El Gamil, June 1942 (I think the link is to the right one given the artwork) V7544/TP-S, 73 sqn, P/O James Eric "Jas" Storrar, Gazala, February 1941 P2638, 274 sqn, Gerawala, April-May 1941 V7770/OS-A, 3sqn RAAF, F/O John Francis Jackson, Benina, February 1941 Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan_cz Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 And one more Eduard is doing a Dual Combo titled 'Hurristory', to be released in October. Arma is also selling it with some package deals...but more importantly they also give us a glimpse of the artwork... They are listing it at €35 Jan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in their newsletter .pdf anyway, they are still showing the same art as in the pdf Note, you can't build YB-f accurately from the supplied kit, they have missed the fin flash on LE-A, and are showing 2 JX-B, and it's not exactly the most original/interesting set of decal options either..... And, yes, I have posted this before as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpeck Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The Hurricane with codes JX-B from the 1 RAF Squadron pilot F/L Clowes. I can't tell on the above photo's but the reason for two I'm thinking is the Hornet under the exhaust pipes had a stripe painted on for each aircraft that Clowes shot down so maybe different amount of stripes. Read that is what the pilot did. I have seen photo's of two different stripe counts on the Hornet but maybe a made up story which I hope a RAF ace expert says yes or no on the story.

Rick I have read the same story. Hardly worth two profiles, i think it's just a mess up, like LE-A having no fin flash, not that there is a photo of LE-A tail. (apparently there are 3 more photos of LE-A in private collection in Canada showing more of the plane) It was more a comment that it's a uninspiring package, FWIW, I did email Eduard and suggest that there are other options, there were P series Hurricanes in France, 73 Sq had them with rudder stripes, there are photos of V series Mk.I's with the bullet Rotol, I know of 3 with serials and codes, the bullet Rotol in in the kit. Make that 4, there is one with 257 Sq, in the formation take off photo, flown by a Pole, the decals have the DT, and another code letter and serial... and another option... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan_cz Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The September Eduard Info changed the list of camouflages. Instead of the second JX-B it has a GN-A (P3576) from 249sqn, Fl/Lt J.B. Nicolson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
