1/100 Hurricane Mk.II "Queenslander" - RAAF, Pacific (NOBI, PacificWind's Recolors)

I am also glad the Australians and the New Zealander are being portrayed in their more immediate defense from the Japanese.

This is a very good alternate history RAAF Hurricane. Apparently, the one Hurricane used in Australia by the RAAF (allocated serial A60-1, but retaining the RAF serial V7476 on its fuselage) appeared in a number of different color schemes during its lifetime. ADF Serials - Hurricane

The RAAF (Nos. 3, 450, and 451 Squadrons) operated Hurricanes in North Africa (ADF Serials - Hurricane).

As it happens, a Hurricane C/N 60372, C-FDNL, Mk XII / IIB Serial No 5481) is currently flying in Australia: Hawker Hurricane flies in Australia – Aviation Spotters Online (some great images).

If you had asked me, I would have said the RAAF also flew Hurricanes in Burma, but apparently all the Hurricanes that operated in Southeast Asia were RAF or Dutch, except for A60-1/V7476.

And then, in the spirit of Kacper's "Queenslander," there is the mythical Twin-Wasp radial powered Hurricane Mk. VI:

Fascinating read and links Don. Thanks for that mate.

wireandpaper: I couldn't agree more. One of the saddest things about the US is that they all think they did it all by themselves.

DB: Once again you step up to inform and educate us. My gratitude has no bounds sir.

Rata: I am so proud that you got all those words spelled right.
