Hawker Hurricanes around the world: VVS Mk IId

[ModelingEdmontonian]

From my Hawker Hurricanes around the world project, another instalment, this time an Mk IId from the Soviet Union. The kit is AZ Model and built OOB except for a few of the decals and the wheels which were Aires resin. Brush painted with Tamiya acrylics. This will be the only Mk IId out of the 25 or so Hurris I'm building as it was not a mark built in large numbers nor used by many operators (in fact the VVS may have been the only foreign operator). I have now built a few of the AZ Model Hurricanes and was really not a fan of the Mk I (which I think was actually the old Sword kit), but finally with this Mk IId I started to enjoy and appreciate what they offer! Not much more to say about it, hope you enjoy!

 

 

The real white 21 suffered a sad fate, apparently.

 

 

Finally, here she is with a few of her recently completed friends--Ireland, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and Belgium. 

 

 

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia RFI is here and others will soon follow!

Love a brushed model. Proper crafting, that is. Good work. Interesting project that's going to net you a great looking collection.

Here are the RFIs for Soviet Union's remaining closest friends Belgium and Ireland:

Another great example!  I really like seeing examples of allied aircraft in VVS service because there were more types in use in the VVS than I realized. Very nice work!
