It’s Hurricane time so…1/24 Trumpeter IID “Tank Buster”….
One of Trump's better efforts, IMHO. The spinner is a bit too long but otherwise I think the lines are pretty good and the rivets work in this scale. What possessed me to do a kit of such largesse I'm not sure, but I do love Hurricanes, [...]
Yay! Half a day today. Figured I’d post one up…Pac Coast Hurricane I….
Fabric wing model 1/32 scale. To me the early Hurricanes are the best looking-that pointy nose just does it. The Pacific Coast kit is pretty good, the only big issue being poor wing fit. It has a real good interior, nice surface detail and [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Hurricane IIc "Persian Trainer"

Hurricane for Christmas
This is a ten day wonder. It is the Airfix 1/48 scale kit, and took me about 14 hours total over 10 days. The personal markings are home made as is the aircraft ID. Under the tail is my brother-in-laws birthday as the civilian ID [...]
Douglas Bader Hurricane, 1/32
This is Bader's second Hurricane I when he commanded 242 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. PCM 1/32 kit. OOB, but modified since (as usual) the Caruana drawings left a bit to be desired in the accuracy department.
Had the [...]
