Free French Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb from "Hawker Hurricanes around the world"

[ModelingEdmontonian]

This was my first GB entry ever, a Hawker Hurricane Mk IIb built for the Fancy French GB. It's also part of my Hawker Hurricanes around the world project--the first instalment of the second phase, which is to represent Hurricanes in non-UK, Allied markings. I used the Fly Mk IIb kit, which was expensive and has its issues (mostly related to the camo call-outs, decals, etc. (@Troy Smith has much to say in this regard!), but in the end I was quite happy with it and how it came together. I did borrow a spinner from an Arma kit and replaced some of the decals with Print Scale. I kept the WIP separate from the larger project, so it is here:

 

 

This is the plane I was modeling:

 

 

And here is my version in b&w:

 

 

And, now, in colour!

Well that's definitely an attractive Hurricane. The French colours really suit the Hurricane. 

 

I really like it.

Thanks, @noelh! I agree! But then again, I think she looks good in all the markings...

Well done and again the proof that this aircraft looked great in every scheme.

Really nice job. Those desert schemes are very striking. I'll be following your Hurricanes Around The World project with interest.

Well done sir, should look great in the overall collection.

This looks fantastic!  The desert colors... the French markings... the craftsmanship...  all terrific.  I like the subtle weathering too; makes it look realistic without getting in your face.  Nice work -- can't wait to see some of the others completed!
