    This build was done between November 2023 and January 2024. A really interesting kit featuring a Hurricane with the markings of an Italian plane captured from the Yugoslavs.

    The kit comes with some nice resin parts, but is a short run kit so no location pins, however the shape and fit was mostly decent.

    Black basing and yellow nose painted, also decided to paint the band and cross that is white rather than use the decals.

    Quite a tricky paint scheme on this one. Hard edge so I can't freehand so massive masking job done.

    This is an impressive build so far, Anthony @anthonyricco
    Especially the camouflage must have taken you quite some time.
    It does look amazing though.

    The interior looks really nice, Anthony (@anthonyricco). Your homemade seatbelts look as good as anything you can buy in a store. You have to be really brave to tackle a camouflage like this one. Well done.
