Fuselage modified. Engine and cowling come from a miserable Novo/Frog Beaufort. Everyone that knows this model, know that the cowling way too narrow. I had to add 6 layers of styrene sheet, to make it look like a Taurus, along with some other scratch.

That is looking very cool. Carlos.

Looking slick Carlos. The engine mods are really super.

Regards,

Mav

Wow I love the way that turned out

Way cool ! Carlos

Nifty stuff Carlos,

Certainly looks the part. I'm sure it'd leave the JMN's doing some serious head-scratching!

Regards,

Mav

Couldn't agree more - well done!

Vwey nice Carlos, and a real double take - looks like a real project.

Oh that's sweet - one of those things that it's hard to believe they didn't try for real.

Well done Carlos - that's cracking!

Nice one. It sure changes the lines of the Hurricane.

How'd I miss this??? Looks great Carlos, whereas many would think putting a radial on the a Hurri is sacralige, I think it suits the old girl. Unlike the pretty lines of the Spitfire, the Hurricane is quite agricultural looking & any type of engine seems to suit it, from the Napier Dagger, DB601, Griffon & Asch 82.
