I'm just getting into building a "reconstruction" of a specific Hurricane IIc, LB545, which flew out of Minneriya with 135 Sq. RAF in late 1944, before they converted to Thunderbolts.
I say "reconstruction" because this period in 135's history seems to be rather poorly documented and illustrated. So in terms of markings and equipment I'm piecing together what seems plausible for this aircraft, in this location, with this squadron, at this time.
I'm using a 1:48 Hasegawa kit, which presents me with a choice of rear-view mirror - round or rectangular - which has me stymied. Is it possible to deduce which mirror is the more likely fitting for this aircraft?
