Qvarre Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Noop, not in this scale. Get your hands on an Airfix books. Hawker Hurricane, Classic Aircraft no4" Their history and how to model them. The books was published in 1974. Chapter nine in this book gives you information about conversion to Mk2 the book gives you templates for the new extended cowling, and more. the book comes sometimes up at Ebay,the ISBN is 0 850959 124 4 Cheers Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick728470 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 At the present time i have not seen any conversion of any type for any 24th A/C.For the 20 mm cannon for the MK.II Hurricane,the best way is to scracth them from needles that doctors use for shoots.Copy from the revell kit and u should have what u need for u'er 24th hurricane.Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinuhe Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 This conversion is not trivial - besides extending the cowling... the wings, filter etc are really totally different. In addition to the Airfix books mentioned, I can recommened the SAM modellers guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Hey Chris, yeah you're tacklin' a big one here. The differences between the MkI and II are few but noticeable to the Hurri fans. The 3 Sinuhe mentioned are most of the work. For the MkII, you'd need to redo the radiator housing, add 4 scale inches in front of the firewall which requires you to extend the wing root fairing as well. As far as pics of 401 Sq. RCAF (YO), do you need some info in particular?? Mike a b e n ...got a Hurri on the back burner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted August 19, 2003 Author Share Posted August 19, 2003 *gulp* Looks like I'll be sticking with the MkI #> Yes Mike, I'm looking for any pics of 401 Hurris...and opreferably MkIs. Whatever you've got I'd like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
