neil5208 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Evening all, just finished this one. Revell's Hawker Hurricane IIc modified to represent one of the IId's supplied to Stalin as a sweetner after Churchill told him he couldn't have any Typhoons. I used the AML decal for Hurricane in Soviet service part 1 as the set came with the cannon required to make the flying tin opener! The Revell kit is not to bad for its age but the panel lines are a bit vague in places and the cockpit doesn't resemble the real aircraft. I removed the 20mm cannons and the bulges on the upper surface and filed the spent case ports on the under side and positioned the cannons over the bomb rack mounting holes. Finished with Tamiya acrylics with a basic oil wash on the panel lines. As always all comments welcome. A quick size comparison against its replacement. The decal set came with 2 pairs of 40mm cannon so I can build a second Hurricane, I was think about Johnny Reds Hurricane with cannon and rockets as featured in the Battle comics. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocky05d Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Cool ,while we are on the subject of Hurricanes sent to Uncle Joe ,i read somewhere that Stalin chucked hundreds of Hurricanes down mine shafts after the war ,to stop the Russian people knowing about all the aid Russia got from the allies . Sounds a bit far fetched ,there are plenty of photo of allied stuff in Soviet use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
