| Revells 1/32 Hurricane mk.1 Huricane p3576 code GN-A as flown by Flt james brindley Nicolson on the 16th august 1940 when he won his VC going to be trying a few things i have never done before on this one .there are no known photographs of this machine and photos of 249sqn machines seem to be in short supply too so with the help of airframes and Diamant and a few others we have been able to piece together what we THINK this machine may have looked like will add some pics and a profile shortly

| Are you buying any bits for it Jamie? I recall the Revell 32nd scale Hurricane's spinner was way oversized |

| Looking good so far Jamie. I used a spare spinner and prop from a Hasegawa Spit for mine, which was the MkIIc 'Smithsonian' kit, converted back to a Mk1, so I'll have a look at the spinner and prop from the original kit, which might be easier to re-shape to a Rotol spinner. If it is, you can have it, and I'll post a pic here so you can see what it looks like. Should have the decals to you by the end of next week latest. I'm in the middle of hand painting the nose art for Jan's Mitchell, straight onto the decal sheet, then I'll print his other bits and pieces at the same time as your codes/serials.

| Looking great so far Jamie... The one thing that I can spot is the seat belt straps on the seat cushion should be highlighted in some way to make em stand out...
