Hurricane Mk. IV.....

[Lucky13]

Now, having scored the 1/48 Hasegawa Hurricane Mk. IV, I've got three birds on the list of possibilities...

First is:
LF113, which is a Mk. IV Trop, she's armed with 40mm cannons, flying with No. 20 Squadron in India, involved in attacks on Japanese road traffic in Burma in 10/44.

Second is:
KZ553, also a Mk. IV Trop, same again, armed with 40mm cannons. This bird is flying with No. 6 Squadron in Italy and Grottaglie, taking part in anti tank missions in support of the 8th Army, 01/44 and is coded JV-B...

The third one and the one that I'm quite tempted to do is:
KZ378, this is a rocket armed Mk. IV, flying with No. 184 Squadron, flying rocket attacks on coastal shipping from Manston. She's missing after shipping strike off the Dutch coast on the 28/06/43 and she was coded BR-V...
Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the pilot..

Now, question is.....can I 'borrow' the rockets, with the blast plate from a Typhoon, or if possible, use a resin replacement?

Can you use the blast plate from the Beaufighter on the Mk. IV Hurricane?

Jan, I'm still in camp but I believe I still have the P.E. blast plates from my Hobbycraft Hurricane. I get home Tuesday night and if you haven't found a solution let me know.

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers mate, will do...

I did mine the one used in Burma with the rockets under one wing and the long range fuel tank other the other

 

[Lucky13]

Like this one mate...?
