Hurrischmitt

[invidia]

Special Hobby 1/72  HA-1112  m-1L  Buchon,  as a hurricane of a polish squadron, battle of britain movie.

 

Lovely little kit, went together really well, the canopy was the worst part of the kit, so i replaced it with one from a airfix kit.

thanks for looking

Very nice, I like it a lot!

I have the Special Hobby Buchon in my stash (the BoB film version in "Luftwaffe" livery).

Will be well pleased if it turns out as nice as yours.

Looks very nice in that livery. Not a convincing hurricane though, weren't there many airworthy at the time the Battle of Britain was filmed?

I think there were six actual Hurricanes available for the film. In the scene with the Polish squadron you can see the Hurrischmitts in the background but unless you spot the struts under the tail plane you'd be fooled. Ironically they were added to the Buchons for the movie. 

This also probably the reason Hurricanes were attacked by Spitfires on occasion.
