Hello,
I'm wondering what kind of camo scheme was wore by Hurricane I's (trop.) over Crete during April/May 1941?
I read that it could be Tropical Land Scheme (Mid Stone/Dark Green/Sky or Sky Blue) the same as wore by several Hurricane over Malta at the end of 1940/early 1941, or Desert Scheme (Dark Earth/Mid Stone/Azure Blue or Sky Blue) or Temperate Land Scheme (Dark Earth/Dark Green/Sky) and other sources say a mix: Dark Earth/Dark Green/Sky blue maybe with black under the port wing ?
Here is Hurricane I V7795 photographed "en route"to Greece/Crete during March or April 1941...
My first impression: temperate land scheme (DE/DG/Sky or sky blue ?) with "Italian colors" (or mid stone with DG blotches) on the propeller spinner, under the nose and the leading edges...
I built this model there is several years in Temperate Land Scheme, was it right or wrong ?![Oops! :oops: :oops:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
