In addition to the fabric wings, early Mk1 Hurricanes may be distinguished by having "car-doors" instead of sliding canopies.

That's very nice sir  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

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

Really inspired, and beautifully executed :thumbsup:.

An open canopy with spats would be nice.

Thanks folks.
I made it a suicide door as I figured it would be easier that way to get out in a hurry.
Inspiration came from someone on this site talking about car doors.

Very useful for the Hurricane due to those fuel tanks. :thumbsup:

It looks odd in a quirky way, I like it. :ph34r:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That is certainly different, and really sweet!

I must have seen this before as I commented above, but it still looks absolutely BRILLIANT!.  :thumbsup:

Fabulous build, Fred! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:
