hi
The "reverse spoiler/airbrake" were added in order to avoid that this Hurricane fly.
Don't worry. The length of these rockets is ok. This Hurricane was used to tested doble rockets with a single head of (250lbs).

Many thanks guys for your comments.
My father has just finished another batch of Hurricane. Here are the photos. I hope you like it.
90) Hurricane Mk IV FJ-B / KX540 - 164 Squadron "Argentine British" - Manston - September 1943 - Anglo Argentine Pilot Flg Off Ronald Sheward
This Hurricane, Sheward's personal, was used in occasional attacks to German coastal navigation and German ground targets during 1943. The KX540 participated in the famous mission to the Dutch Channel of Hansweert, from which he could return unharmed. Reference: "Wings of Thunder" - Claudio Meunier.
91) Hurricane Mk IIB C / AP894 - 135 Sqn – Yelahanka, India (East Bengal) – March/May 1943. Thanks to Nick Millman for the references.
92) Hurricane Mk IV KZ706 A&AEE Boscombe Down – 1944/45
93) Hurricane Mk IV O / LD975 – 351 Sqn Yugoslav – Prkos Yugoslavia – May 1945
94) Hurricane Mk IV C / KZ188– 6 Sqn – Prkos Yugoslavia – April/May 1945
I have decided to include the Hurricane Mk IV KX877 in this project. (107 models in total).
The next batch will include the following aircrafts:
95) Hurricane Mk IV KX877 - Yorkshire - July 1943
96) Sea Hurricane Mk IB W9219 880 Sqn
97) Sea Hurricane Mk IB Y1-C V7438 759 Sqn RNAS Yeovilton August 1942
98) Sea Hurricane Mk IB G Z4550 800 Sqn HMS Indomitable August 1942
99) Sea Hurricane Mk IC V6741
Here is a photo showing all the Hurricane done so far. (94+twin Hurricane + Hurricat). 8 out of the 94 are waiting for the special decals.
Cheers
