Good work, Chris! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Are the wheels keyed differently for each wheel or the same (such that one might, accidentally, put the wrong wheel on the wrong side)?

Very nice work Chris ..ya dont see many single balded Hurricanes so that makes even sweeter  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

That does my middle-aged old Dutch heart good. The Hurricane is a great plane and to see it in this Dutch livery is fab. But I do think the Dutch would have kept the name Hurricane, international traders as they alway have been. All the DeHavilland planes the Dutch had also kept their original names. No Tijgermot of Snelle Draak (Dragon Rapide).
Nevertheless, a real beauty!

I LOVE the idea of a 'Snelle Draak'!  :wub:

As the first aircraft I ever flew in was a RAF Dominie, in future I'll tell people it was a 'Snelle Draak', with as much a Dutch accent as I can muster!
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! :)

Regards
Kit

I must admit I did think that would likely be the case, but went with the Dutch translation. For future Dutch "what if's" and I've a couple planed after the second Hurricane I'll stick with the English name  :thumbsup:

No Guy, there is only one way you can fit the wheels as the "hole" the leg fits into is on the inside of the hub and is shaped as well. I suppose you could fit them upside down  :unsure:, but I seem to have discovered an entirely different method. Never mind I have another kit in the stash and I'll see what a dry fit is like. This one will be either Greek or Turkish ? I'll tackle it next time I need a "relaxation" build  :mellow:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
