Hawker Hurricane IIc, 34 Squadron, Palel, Burma, 1943

[russ c]

Howdy Everyone

 Finished the latest addition to the CBI theme I got going so thought I better bother you with some photo`s

My attempt at the Hasegawa 1/48 Hurricane IIc kit

Finished to represent an aircraft with 34 Squadron RAF based at Palel, Burma

Built from the box contents with just a very few tweaks

The main one being to build up the fuselage under the canopy which was replaced with a vac-formed item so it could be slid back

Others include: some canopy rails and a stiffener for the radiator intake from wire

The bombs were, I think, from an Airfix Blenheim and the bomb racks were made from some bits of plastic sheet......

and filed into shape.

Decals from an Xtra Decals Sheet, seat belts from paper and foil and drilled the gun barrels

Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking

Cheers Russ

The Hurricane with the elongated filter always has looked quite menacing to me.  It is just such a great look.  Wonderfully built and finished kit.  Look forward to more of your CBI future additions.  Thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy looking at your models, the standard of paintwork and weathering is so inspiring.

Superb Russ, that's a cracking Hurricane. Great result from an older kit. 

 

Well done 👍

I think the Hurricane looks superb in these colours Russ, and that's great work getting the vac canopy to fit perfectly in the open position.

I hadn't spotted this before so thank @Pete in a shed for bumping it, I really like a Hurricane in Burma campaign colours, & this one ticks all the boxes. Nice one @russ c. 👍
