Reini78 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 1 hour ago, Troy Smith said: Lovely, but the wrong type of prop. From what I can see, (The blades certainly ) this is the Rotol unit used mostly on the Mk.II, they Romanian boxing has a de Havilland Hurricane unit , which is close, but not correct. What you need is a De Havilland Spitfire unit, an optional part in some kits, Old tool Airifix Hurricane and the Airfix new tool Spitfire I/II see here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234980181-hawker-hurricane-propellers-and-spinners-a-modellers-guide/ You need some 5 spoke hubs for the wheels, just visible above, you can use the ones which are optional parts in the Eduard Spitfire IX kit, drill the hase wheels huibs outwith a 6mm drill and add the new hubs. also https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234956047-romanian-hurricane-underside-colours/ https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235017661-hawker-hurricane-mki-dehavilland-propeller-but-different/ HTH thanks for the hint, completely overseen that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 My father built the new Airfix Hurricane I last year and did the scheme with the Rotol prop. Luckily he kept the box with the rest of the parts, so here is the Airfix deHavilland prop, with some minor sanding it fits the Hasegawa kit.

Fin Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Ideally, you should have a Spitfire De Havilland which has a cone that is slightly larger in diameter than the nose of the aircraft. Also, Romanian Hurricanes had the early gunsight and bead (on the cowling) arrangement, not the electric gunshight, but I don`t know if you can still make this change. You can see them here: https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Hurricane/RRAF-Petre-Cordescu/pages/Aircrew-Romanian-pilot-Constantin-Pomut-MkI-Hurricane-01.html Either way, great job on this model! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens when you don´t look close enough at the pics 😁 The Airfix spinner is minimal wider than the Hasegawa nose, so that looks ok. I told my dad about the gunsight. He fixed the canopy only with Micro Klear, so he could get it off again and exchange the gunsight, don´t know if he will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
