Hi

many thanks for your comments guys. I really appreciate them.

Dirk, drop me a PM with your email address and I will send you what we have.

Kind regards

And what in the hell is this rocket armament??

No offense, just wondering. But if the length weren't appropriate I would say it looks like a 1/48th rocket on your 1/72nd kit. That is a HUGE rocket.

hi

What the hell are the "reverse spoiler/airbrake" thingies on the leading edge of the wings?

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).
