Santiago - awesome work! You know I'm a big fan of your Spitfire collection and this is shaping up to be just as impressive.

Can I ask a question? Where do you get those "P for prototype" decals? I have a Spit Floatplane in my stash that I'm going to do sooner or later but the yellow in the decals is way to bright. The RAF roundels I have plenty of, but I desperately need a "P".

Cheers!

Fantastic work my friend! No matter how much I look at Hurricane's I never grow tired of their lines.

Cheers.

Many thanks. That is the idea. We have at least 10 others Spitfire to add.

The Hurricane collection will be the sencond large series among the others.
So far we have selected 103 Hurricane. I think that the final number will be around 105.

I asked my father about the yellow "P".
We have a couple of decals sheet. The Joe's models have a good one as wll as the zotz decals.
You can try here:

1) Hurricane Mk IIA Z2326 - A&AEE - September 1941 -
2) Hurricane Mk IIA Z2697 - 56 Sqn - North Weald - 11/05/1941
3) Hurricane Mk IIA US/W Z2767 - 56 Sqn - Duxford - 26/05/1941

We must include one of those Hurricane fitted with deep charges.

Many thanks for posting the picture as well as the history. Any chance to know the serial and code letter of those Hurricane. (one at least)?.

Many thanks in advance

Kind regards

Depending on the version. For the Mk I we have used mainly the Airfix kit and a few Hasegawa and for the Mk II we have been using the Revell kits (but with many modifications).

My father has finished the Hurricane number 34. This time is the
Turbinlite Hurricane Mk IIB SAM Z3353 - Night Figther Unit at Wittering

Here are some pictures

Cheers
