hurribomber Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hi folks. I had the idea for this projekt 30 years ago! The idea was to make a model in the double size as the Airfix 1/24 Hurricane. Using any for me available materials such as aluminum, brass, plastic sheet, metal sheet of beer-cans etc... Lacking of original drawings I started with the drawings of L.A.Bentley. Later on I could get a lot of original drawings (Ian Hudson - warbirdsrestoration) I found there are not many Hurricane scratch builders worldwide browsing the internet.. For me - the one and only - was Ripaman! - thank you Richard for encourage me to publish my projekt! On the JNE Aircraft website I found a lot excellent pics. Thank you John for giving me details and dimensions for the center-section!! In 2012 and 2016 I had the opportuinty to visit Hawker Restorations and cold get some helpful pics of details which are not to find neither in internet nor in any books.. Thanks again to H.R! I start publish with old pics. Newer will follow soon. Thomas Trak-Tor, Derek B, KiwiZac and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to use 3rd party picture hosting (Imgur is free). This thread might also be useful: Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of copying the 'share' link, which just points to the web page containing your images, click on one so that it expands in the browser, right-click on it, and select the option to copy that image's link (the wording of that option will depend on which browser you're using). When you paste that link here, you should get this: https://imgur.com/a/mNwJWHJ And it is indeed highly impressive work!

LSP_Kevin Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I have to confess, there must be an easier/better way to do this in Imgur, but I don't use it personally, so I can't offer any advice there. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurribomber Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks Kev. I try to find a easier way. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurribomber Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 I was lucky to get an old pantograph. So I could transfer the formers to the plastic sheet from original drawings. Model_Monkey, Greg W, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
