I'm back on topic with an actual WW2 plane! 
Actually, I'm pretty happy how this is going - there's probably a few tweaks to do, but so far, so good 
(It is an early 1940 model by the way, so things like markings, exhausts, aerials will be slightly different to a lot of pictures)

Country: | I agree with Evan, one of my favorites. Great reputation as being easy to fly. Like that.
Clave, is that one of the fabric winged Hurricanes. I think they were changing over to metal wings around this time. Just curious if it affects the drawing.
Great work, as always. | |

Country: | It seems they changed over to metal-covered wings quite early on, and even retrofitted some of the first Mk1s with metal wings... I haven't seen any difference in the pictures I've looked at though....
The big step is the Mk2 with protruding cannon... I'm looking at those after I have done a few more Mk1s...
Finnish one next!

I need an opinion on the Romanian one:
No1? or No2?
First one is strictly following the flag yellow as seen on the tail, the second one had a more 'Bf-109' colour for the yellow...

Country: | More a fan of #2 for the way it probably looked in operation use. But #1 is prettier.
Another nice set. Romanians had Hurricanes? Knew the Yugos did as well as the Belgians and Russians. But did not know the Ruminians had any sizeable numbers. | |

Country: | Thanks for the feedback
I'm going with something in-between those two...
