Hi guys

Many thanks for your comments.

Madre de Dios!
We have made another Mosquito since that series was finished. It is an Aussie one finished in Overall Foliage green.

Your taillesss/canard planes are extraordinary. Clearly more than a case of whacking a kit together!
Yes. My father spent a lot of time doing that series. Many models were made in scratch.

Cheers
Santiago
 
Hi

My father has finished another Hurricane. In this case the Hurricane Mk IIA Z2415 – Boscombe Down – February 1942.
It was the first installation of rocket projectiles for flight trials by a Hurricane. The rather crude arrangement involved only six rockets rails.

Great work mate! Impressive collection. One of my next builds will be a Royal Yugoslav hurricane...

Nice! I have recently finished Hurricane Mk II of No 351 Sqn with partisan markings. It was my entry in the MTO GB.

Santiago, what can I say. Excellent and above all impressive collection. Great work mate.

58) Hurricane Mk IIC X KW935 – 11 Sqn – Cholavram
As per the photo of this aircraft, we believe that the original roundels on the upper side of the wing (type B) were not covered nor painted when the 16" SEAC roundels were applied. The tone of the blue (of the Type B roundel) appears just a bit darker than the inside roundel of the SEAC marking (4 part of white and 1 part of white). My father tried to represent a very fade and weathered blue-grey. Apparently did not happen the same with the original fuselage roundel which was repainted completely. (Of course we should have done the same with the painting but we make our models without weathering).
Thanks to Nick Dixon for the photo.

Many thanks for your comments guys.

Woow. imalko
You have made a lovely model. I have never seen one of this before. I am happy now knowing that our LD116 is not the only one. :lol::lol:

Hi Heinz
Nice Hurri. Very well finished.
We will do this one in the future among with another Mk IID flew by an Anglo Argentine pilot.

Cheers
Santiago
 
Thanks for the compliments Santiago.
Looking at your list of done and to be done Hurricane models one can only acknowledge how huge undertaking this is. It will be remarkable collection...no, not will be but it already is.
Have I missed it while looking at the list or do you lack a model of Royal Yugoslav Hurricane there?

Regards
Igor
 
Hi Igor

Your welcome and many many thanks.
Yes, we have not include a model of the Royal Yugoslav Hurricane.

All the models we have done and will be done belong to our aim (collection) which is to model all the aircraft types that flew with the Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and all the Commonwealth in the time frame between 1936 and 1947, in all major versions. And to include also Lend-Lease and captured enemy types. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I know that it may sound too much but we believe that it can be done. We already made 460 models and more than 700 kit to build.

Cheers
Santiago
