I had some leftover decals from my Airfix Hurricane and an old Airfix Hunter. This "What-if?" build is based on this 111 Squadron, RAF, Hurricane which participated in the 1938 "Fete de l'Air at Villacoublai, France, during the Bastille Day celebrations on 9 July, 1938. In my "Whifferverse", this Hunter participated in the 25th anniversary of the same celebration in 1953, marked as its predecessor. Coincidently, the 50+ year-old kit had 111 Squadron markings as the kit decals.

I added nose-weight, a tailpipe, and blanking plates in the intakes and wheel wells. The rest is OOB. I used the Hurricane decals and brush-painted the thing in Humbrol, Testors, Floquil, and Citadel paints.

Waste not, want not.

Adios, Larry.

That's TERRIFIC CSMO!  :thumbsup: :bow:

A brill idea and a good save on the old Hunter kit too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That looks very good. Love the underside especially.
