kelly9mm Posted November 1, 2024 Posted November 1, 2024 (edited) Another Arma’s Hurricane took off from my bench. An since they come in all shapes and sizes, today we have a Turkish Mk.II in 72nd scale. Turkey procured a number of Hurricanes during WW2 in several batches and in various circumstances. In March 1943 a flight of ex-RAF Hurricanes Mk.II (b and c versions) was transferred from RAF bases in the Middle East to Turkey. One of this flock was an aircraft bearing serial number HV608 that I present you here. Very few photos depicting those Hurricanes are available today (I know only two), so decisions regarding the equipment and painting scheme of this particular bird were based only on my “educated wish” reinforced by the opinions of the wise men (thank you very much @Troy Smith and @Paul Lucas). some info you may find here. So, without further ado, Arma Hobby’s Hurricane Mk.IIc, 1:72 scale, built mostly OOB (a 3D printed seat with seatbelts, a mirror and exhaust stacks were included in the kit). I used gun barrels from Master, an instrument panel from Yahu and a gunsight from Brengun. Please enjoy and comment at will. Cheers, Marcin Edited November 1, 2024 by kelly9mm 54 8

David Koktavý Posted November 2, 2024 Posted November 2, 2024 Very nice 👍 It was good to follow the real pictures. Because this plane is a part of Techmod decal sheet and there are depicted Turkish square insignias on the wings which are IMHO wrong. 1

I totally agree, the Techmod's concept with Turkish national insignia seems to be wrong. A slightly better proposition has TigerHead (Hurricanes over Anatolia), although they got the spinner wrong. Anyway, I didn't use any decals and I did the research myself (with substantial help of fellow forum members), so I'm quite happy with the result. 42 minutes ago, Mig88 said: Simply outstanding !

georgeusa Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 I think you got the scale wrong as there is no way this could only be 1/72. I didn't know Arma made a 1/32 Hurricane. Your paint work and finish is awesome and looks like it would be more at home on a larger scale kit. Thanks for sharing. 1

The kit is really good, it has potential. I'm glad you like the model .

kapam Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Awesome! What a brilliant piece of work! 😮 👋👋👋 1
DiveBomber Posted November 7, 2024 Posted November 7, 2024 Great stuff ! I really like the tone variations you achieve in your painting, and I also like the little rust on the exhaust pipes. Gun barrels : do they really extend that much out of the wing ? 1
