Michael, I'm not so sure about a Halinski Hurricane but you could consider Orlik's Mk IID or Kartonowa Koleckjca's Mk I.

Canopy of the Spit's looking great Ricardo and thanks to you all regarding the flap info!

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments
@ MichaelS - Halinski's Hurricane is an old kit, much less detailed than the newer kits. Paintig quality and fit are very good. As Erik suggests, you may find a better kit elsewhere.


And there it is. I very seldom “repeat” subjects. The Mk.IXc and the Mk.Ia have different detail but, from a distance, look very much the same and a “repeat” may not be appealing for the modeler. However, the plane is so pretty and the kits are so good that I couldn’t resist. The very different liveries are a welcome plus and the same applies to the Mk.Vb version’s colors (released in 2005). I have a copy of that kit and it should make the trip to the working bench, sooner or later.
The pictures follow the usual pattern in my threads.

And the last ones.

Regarding the next plane subject, a Spitfire would not be a Spitfire without a Messerschmitt 109 and Halinski’s T-2 version has a striking livery…

Hard job trying to fault this one. Just stunning.

Congrats on completing this pretty Spit, Ricardo, it's great fun to watch your work these kits haven't been built any better.
