Is your phone the right way up?

Seriously though lovely model of the very underrated Hurricane. I often wondered with this variant just how the wings didn't shake themselves apart with the recoil from those cannons!

Nicely made Hurricane IIC there, Alan. I like the Hurricane a lot, one of my all time favourite aeroplanes.

Cheers folks I love the hurricane and agree it was very underrated aircraft , it shot down more planes in the BoB

I've decided to present this better when I get home tomorrow , I've gone out and bought a small picture frame and I have some 1/72 8th army figures , some fuel barrels and sand bags also I have a 1/72 vickers machine gun so it will look better

I made the Revell IIC as my first kit on resuming modelling a few months ago. It's a good kit (though it took rather a lot of filling around the wing roots). I'm a big fan of the Hurricane too. The Spitfire was so good as a pure fighter, and proved to have an airframe that would cope with constant upgrades, that it didn't get used much in some of the more interesting roles the Hurricane got - night fighter, night intruder, fighter bomber, tank buster. That gives the Hurricane a lot of scope for interesting variants and colour schemes. I feel rather the same about the Bf110, too - not a great fighter, but can make a really interesting model.

I didn't have a problem with the main wing joints but I did with the tail wings but I only got this because I was on holiday and it was something to do on bad weather days , I brought all my tools and paints for it but forgot about filler so you can see some seems in the nose and as I said the tail wings but I'm pleased with the way it turned out considering , I have a MK V spit as well but I didn't have time to build that so it will probably sit in the stash for a few years due to projects I've got ongoing and planed for the future.

Nice job. I like the Hurri loads. And I really like the desert camo.
