RMCS Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 These have been built for a family member of P/O Handyside. He flew both marques and was awarded the DFC on D Day for destroying five armoured vehicles threatening to over run an allied position. The kits are a Hasegawa Hurricane with conversion, and the Typhoon the sublime Eduard Ltd Ed. 48 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve27752 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Very nice, would i be correct in thinking, that the hanging leads would catch on the end of the launch rail and thereby arm the rocket as it went off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are electrical leads that are plugged in "last minute". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG899 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Two gorgeous Hawkers there Rich. Interesting dimensions on the Hurricane’s underwing roundels. Cheers Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Great looking duo. I like the markings on the rockets. I did the same kit earlier this year but chickened out & left them green. The kit is a re-box of the Hasegawa Tiffie so quality is assured. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
