Hurricane PR MK.IIb in Palestine - Arma Hobby 1/72


Recommended Posts

this time something else :wink: a Arma Hobby Hurricane.
I did a conversion to the PR version used by Polish 318 fighter reconnaissance squadron in it's training time in Palestine, in combat 318 sq. used Spitfire MK.V and IX.
From aftermarket I used: Eduard seat belts and Yahu instrument panel, Quickboost propeller and exhaust pipes -both for Hasegawa kit.

Decals custom made.

Great looking model! Did you scratch-build the camera set?

I used some resin part that I had since years, it was wrong in dimensions but easy to correct. I think it was from Omega resin from Czech Republic.

Jerzy,

another nice model in your collection!

decals are from Arma kit?

Do you know what did three crosses mean?

Decals are custom made. Regarding the "X" I have no idea about. It was written with chalk for a photo shooting, so ....

Wow! Yet another incredible model from the Arma kit. That's not a version you are going to see very often, but your model is outstanding! Thanks for sharing it with us...bet @Troy Smith will have a smile on his face when he sees this one!

Excellent result!

About the external pair of MGs characteristic to IIB. I think they might be removed from this particular machine - when they are installed they come a bit outside from the wing surface:

BTW - On the Canadian build Hurricanes it is sometimes (?) even more pronounced, at least on machine preserved in Ottawa Museum:

and in photo of "Busia" I am not sure that they are there, they are taped, but the tape looks flat.

It is just because of  curiosity :) - what do you think?

Nice job, looks 1/32 scale.

When you say custom decals, did you print them yourself and what program do you use?

Thank you, I ordered decals by a friend who do this kind of service.

I think they are being removed to compensate for the extra weight of the camera chamber and improve flight properties.
