A Battle of Britain Hurricane? Yes, but which one?

[Antoine]

I've in my stash nearly all of the different boxing of Hasegawa's 1/48 Hurricane (And sea hurry too).

I have a plan for most of them (Finnish , Rumanian, PR, etc...), but I found out that it would be a shame not to have a BoB hurry on my shelves (One day...).

Among those boxes is the one dedicated to Ian Gleed night fighter hurry, but if I like it (And I'll certainly build it as it is), I don't think it is representative enough for a BoB hurry. Also got the "squadron leader" box, but...

So, if you have any ideas, please let me know, and if possible show me a profile.

Thanks!

Why not do the classic - Gleed's dayfighter, LK A ?

I'm already planning to build the NF LK°A.

So I would prefer another aircraft as a day fighter.

I would highly recommend Kagero's Top Color series - check out their Battle of Britain Part II book... Inside you'll find 6 Hurricane colour profiles. The Top Color series also include a decal sheet in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 so you can build most of the colour profiles. The decals included are only the individual aircraft markings though, you'll have to source national insignia and stencils somewhere else.

Many thanks.

Any other ideas?

Antoine,

We do masks for a 32 Sqn BoB Hurricane (P3522 - GZ@V ) :-

We can also do custom masks for any other Hurricane scheme you would like to model.

HTH,

Interesting, Ian.

Do you know which pilot this hurry belong to?

That's exactly the kind of specific markings I'm looking for.

Antoine,

Unfortunately I don't have a pilot's name for this Hurricane, however we also do masks for another BoB 32 Sqn Hurricane Mk1 (P2921 GZ@L) flown by Ft Lt Pete Brothers. Here's a link to PhilB's 1/24th scale superb build on LSP which used them.

HTH,

Instead of Bob Tuck's oft done Hurri,what about his wing man?.

Carl Capon's(The Tick Bird)257 Sqn Hurri,V7298.

He was known as The Tick Bird because of his ability to keep 109's off his leader's back.
