After lots of head scratching wondering how I might put the correct code letters on the Hurricane, i came across Glenn's (T-Bolts) Spitfire and the awesome job he did so am attempting to emulate his procedure.

The area on the Fuselage where the code lettrs are is painted medium sea grey. Its hard to see the diffence between it and the grey undercoat, you can see where I've pulled the 'mask' up to reposistion it and pulled up some of the sea grey, looks like i'll have some touching up to do...

Yes the codes in reverse are correct, well according to this photo of the Hurricane display at the Battle of Britain Museum in Kent they are anyway!!

That looks good Pete, you're a braver man having a go at lettering like that.

Nice job on the masks. Looks like it should look good once painted.

[Wayne Little]

Nice one! Looking forward to the finished result.

Lettering masks look great Pete. Should turn out real nice.

[vikingBerserker]

Very nice!

Sweet mate!

I hope the paint behaves when you pull the masks after all that nice work. The lifting you've seen already looks ominous.
