The Hawker-Huntington Hurricane Mk.I(Mod) should be totally complete by the end of the week.

Still musing over the scheme.
It's for Biggles, Norway 1940, and it needs something special......perhaps just different roundels, all "A"-type etc..

I'd go "B" type in 4 positions - fuselage and upper wings. Night/White undersides

As the engine is rebuilt, with prop, etc., in dieselpunk mode, exhausts too, with additional bracing and wiring, ...not to mention (sshhhhhh!!!) the 4 rather large calibre guns.....I'd thought of it as something of a "special" as flown by Lord Tarquin de Athlock.
As such, highly polished natural metal/silver with lots of copper, bronze details.

Also, I can well change my mind lol.

Dreamed up some really wild schemes last night....saw a Hawker Henley?? model a while ago.....silver with fabric in yellow....very bright with great RAuxAF markings. So I thought of silver with blue/yellow striped aft fuselage/fin/rudder; or red/yellow checks. or green/yellow stripes? Etc...

But reality has dawned, and although the back story remains intact, this 1/32nd Hurricane will be essentially standard for the Norwegian Campaign in 1940, but with personalised codes and still lots of silver/gunmetal/copper/brass etc., where appropriate.
And very DIRTY of course!!

Onwards, my children, onwards.....

Just ordered 3 x Pegasus Hobbies 1/48th Hurricane Is....a great kit.

I believe the RAuxAF will receive at least one......

Onwards, my children, onwards....

As a bit of light relief, wonder if the RAF in Norway would appreciate a Tomahawk I....Biggles 1940

I know the Latvians are getting one!!

Got this collection of P-47s to build.....

RAF real and imagined......must have postwar use in Europe, with Polish units.
Might do a proper Czech one? Polish? SAAF 
Israeli ones are a bit obvious....how about an Egyptian one.
Irish, of course!!

Got my immediate modelling future mapped until basically October though.
