    Jim R's Arma Hobby 1/72 Hurricane (Battle of Britain GB)

    This is the Hurricane flown by F/Lt Jaroslav Maly. After a mid air collision Maly made a forced landing in a field near RAF Fowlmere at the end of October 1940. He was injured and survived but was not able to fly again. His Hurricane was recovered and repaired.

          Smashing job Jim, a fitting tribute to Fl/Lt Jaroslav Maly.

              Nicely done Jim, the damage and placement matches the photo of the real thing.
