This Hurricane is very nice looking. I don't ever recall seeing one of them wearing these markings before. That makes it stand out... Toss in the spectacular paint work and attention to the small details, such as the 5 spoke wheels and early spinner, and you have another winner on your shelf !
Well done my friend.

Very nice - those markings are very striking.
I agree, those markings make the Hurricane stand out.
I have never seen a Romanian Hurricane before let alone one with Mickey on it. Well done.
Great subject and a wonderful outcome, very well done!
