Nice Pete,I love the Hurricane.8)
I'm hoping Airfix release the new tooling in 1/48 in time for our BoB build as I want to build one.
Looking forwrad to this one Pete especially after seeing the cracking job u did with the 109 8)
Cheers,
Tony.
 
I also built one of these a little while back, it builds up into a nice little kit. Only thing I found to be wary of is fitting the fuselage onto the wing/cockpit assembly. It can be a little tight and you have to be careful not to damage the pit interior as you lower the fuselage on. It is a very nice little kit for the money though 8)

A quick test fit.... it fits together quite well, minimal filling and sanding by the looks of things

 
I went with Humbrol 78 Interior Green when I built mine, this seems more likely, and also, the Seafire I built straight after called for that colour in the wheel wells. Not a very scientific answer, I know, anyone know anything to the contrary?
 
The inside of the undercarriage doors on the Hurricane Mk1 were dull silver, and the wheel wells also, although the latter occassionally could be seen in Sky.
 
I went with a flat aluminium I had, it should pass for dull silver, especially after a flat clear...
