This may be of interest to some. It’s a Facebook link to over 100 pages of Hawker Hurricane plans taken from various publications and sources over the years. I’m certainly not going to suggest they are 100% accurate, nor have been scanned correctly, however we are all adult enough to take this information with certain caveats in mind. 
 

I realise there’s a number of BM members who are not Facebook uses, but I cannot offer any separate links here. This is a private ‘Scale Plans’ FB page so you will need to be a group member prior to viewing.

Just been delving through some old magazines, and came across my copy of the Quarter Scale Modeller Hurricane 60th Anniversary Special Edition.

 

The contents are as follows:

 

Tuck's Hurricane

The first of a regular series looking at aircraft of the aces: the Hurricane of Sqn/Let Bob Stanford Tuck

 

Hurricanes at Sea

How to make all versions of the Sea Hurricane

 

Hurricane Wings

Centre-page spread of the panel line and armament details

 

Hard-hitting Hurricanes 

Details of how to make 40mm cannon and RP-armed 'Channel Stop' Hurricanes 

 

Phoney War Fighter

Using Blueprint's resin conversion to make Paul Richey's G-George

 

Hurri-bomber

Modelling a Dieppe Raid bomb-carrying Hurricane Mk.IIb, plus a companion Dieppe Raid Hurricane Mk.IIc

 

Hurricane VC

Making James Nicholson's epic Hurricane 

 

Pattle's last combat

Colour scheme and markings of the Hurricane in which 'Pat' Pattle lost his life 

 

Always bearing in mind that this publication is now 30 years old and some at least of the info contained may/will be out of date, if anyone would like scans of particular articles please let me know.

 

Cheers,

Mark

I know there are a lot of images readily available online, but I'll share some examples that I have personally photographed over the years. Of course these most likely have undergone some level of restoration for display, so bear that in mind. Anyway, here is a small sampling of photos of some of the Hurricanes I have pointed a camera at... use as reference or inspiration.

 

I'll try to limit the pics per plane, but I have more if there's something that would help on a build.

Use these for reference or inspiration. I have others highlighting details like the landing gear and intakes, etc., but those types of pics are readily available with a simple online search.

Some great shots there, thanks for sharing.

Specifically for the 48th Arma Hobby kit,  but of use for those interested in detail, though the 48th Arma kit is the only one with all these bits

I found this site useful for the cockpit, not sure how original it is, looks like a good restoration.

The photos don't seem to open easily, or not on my laptop. I opened each one in a new tab.
