  1. Hi guys, this is my second build for this group build. I plan to build the aircraft marked as a No. 17 Squadron aircraft. No. 17 Squadron was based at Tangmere during a large portion of the battle so it fits well as a protagonist of the JG27 Bf109 I built. Being a short run kit the PCM offering will have some challenges to be sure, but hopefully I can master them. Like the 109 I will build the Hurricane mostly OOB; and will use only an HGW seatbelt, some of their wet transfer stencil markings and Zotz decals. As you can see in the following photos I have already done more scratchbuilding in the cockpit than I did with the 109. This is mostly minor stuff such as adding knobs, levers and buttons with their mounting plates in some cases, though I did go a bit further with a couple of items. Ok, on to the photos of what will - hopefully - be a fun journey that will (even more hopefully) result in a decent representation of a BoB era Hurricane. Ernest Overall shot of the cockpit framing showing my additions. On the port side I added the throttle friction adjustment wheel (the white circular item mounted on a slightly larger black circular friction plate.). The landing flaps selector lever and cabling, (The beige lever with the copper wire running down from it.). The chain for the trim adjustment wheel, I pinched a thin piece of Evergreen strip to emboss the chain look into the plastic. Somewhat crude but as it will be mostly hidden it will do. Finally, on the upper port tubing, I added parts to represent those found on the actual aircraft, but I'll be darned if I know what it does. On the starboard side I added the T Handle that operates the emergency flare. Above that is what will be a brass painted button that was used to operate the windshield de-icing system. Finally, the beige object above the de-icing button is FLIGHT/GROUND lever. The white strip on the tubing will be flap indicator. All these items will be painted the, what I think, are the correct colors after I spray the interior green. Another view of the port side stuff. A shot showing the throttle levers (a repair and an addition), the oil priming button (the white item) and above those, a silver lever on the circular object that I also don't have any idea what it does. Like the other stuff these will all be hand painted the correct colors after interior green is applied. Electrical cable for the trigger. The joystick is pretty basic and I may summon the energy to improve it, we shall see. A closer view of the starboard side additions. A closer view of the mystery item on the port upper tubing.
