Hi guys

Many thanks

Hi guys

Many thanks

I don't know if this has been asked.
Where are you going for your research questions?
I am looking for the code, GN*?, for a 249 squadron Hurricane Mk.1, serial number L1715.
It was flown by, and had a crash landing at Acklington in England 15 July 1940.
Can you help in identifying this plane?

Hi. Actually I have looking for information in many books and I have contacted many modelers / hystorian in different forums.
I will see if I can find what you asking me in the Manson's book.

Cheers
Santiago

Nice. How are the decals being made if I may ask?

 

[brucejscott]

This kind of gives a new meaning to " Been there, Done that". I am quite jealous. They all look fantastic! When do you sleep by the way?

Hello to all of you.

My father has finished the last model of our Hawker Hurricane / Sea Hurricane sub collection.

I believe that he has done a extraordinary job building these lovely models in so little time. It took me two years to select the aircrafts and find the related information for each one and my father built all of them in one year and a half.

As part of our main goal, the intention of this project was to show the history and the develpment of the Hawker Hurricane during the world war two between the limits of our collection.

We tried to make each one as best as we could, checking and double checking not only the information of our files but also asking other modelers and hystorian.

Of course you will probably find mistakes but please keep in mind that we built 109 models.

As I mentioned before, many people have helped us with project not only by sending us photos and personal information but spending time with further explanation about the history of specific aircrafts.

We do not have enough words to say: MANY THANKS.

These are some of the extrordinary peoples which have helped us with this project: Alaistor Mellor, Alec Smith, Antoni, Anthony Williams, Claudio Meaunier , Colin Shipton, Dave Charles, Dave Fleming, Dave Homewood, Dean Wingrin, Doug, Enzo Biancardi, Erik Pilawskii, Frederick Harris, Glenn R, Graham Boak, Graham Green, Ian Gazeley, IPMS Uruguay (Alvaro Manser y Alvaro Brasesco) , Javier Planells, Jerry Vernon (via Norman Malayney), Jim Bates, Jonathan Davis, Kjetil Aakra, Mr. Ragnar Ragnarsson (via Sigurjon), Dragan, Mihail Solanakis, Nick Millman, Norman malayney, Pablo Zieger, Peter Malone, Phil Cater, Ricardo Lezon, Richard Humm, Richard Owen, Robat Humphreys, Sigurjon Valsson, Sinuhe, Prof. Hahn, Stefaan Bouwer y Steve Mackenzie.

I would like to point out that without the kindly assistance of Luis Cid we could not built many of these models. He spent a lot of time doing unique decals for us.


These are the final photos

That is a heck of an impressive line up ! Very well done, and I particularly like the presentation of the 'Hurricats'.

 

[copcheck]

More impressive than your fleet of these impressive birds is the relationship it sounds like you have with your father. What a great thing this hobby has done for both you, and I commend you both.

Again, this is just awesome!

 

[juergen.klueser]

This is unbelievable! It is the largest collection of a single type, I have ever seen.
Maybe I just did not see the wood behind all the trees Do you have or plan a Hurricane Mk V?
