PCM Hurricane (late) 56 Squadron….finished!

[Alain Gadbois]

Fantastic looking Hurricane Max!

Love the realistic weathering.

Might the windscreen be a bit too angled backwards?

Cheers Alain, yes it might be slightly but I think I can live with it!

It looks wonderful from here, Max.

Nice finish Max

Having said that I could live with the windscreen at a slightly rakish angle as pointed out by Alain (thanks Alain! ) I of course couldn't....so it's corrected with the help of a razor saw and a couple of thin wedges.  A few shots in better light, please ignore the shepherd's hut in the background....it was too heavy to move!! 

 

 

Now, where's that Tiffie?

Gotta admit that angle does look a heap better, but….. If I were the Ops boss I’d be having words with that ground handler, serious safety violation with the position of the external power carts cable.

Great photos!

I like the hut, it’s where P/O Brooker is taking a quick nap waiting for the phone call to scramble!

Man, the greenest grass I have ever seen! 
Glad the windscreen adjustment wasn’t too much trouble! Looked like a custom attempt to get a couple extra miles per hour on the ‘plane!

Call it artistic licence on behalf of the photographer!

Terrific results Max!

Tremendous effort indeed and the results speak for themselves.

Great result.  I like the display with the ground handler and trolley acc.  One of the nicest Hurricane's I've seen here. 

 

 

Cheers,

Probaby enough of a violation to earn at least 3 points on said licence

That's what I did with mine., cut a slot at the front of the windshield to drop it, I used

a couple of wedge shaped decals to cover the gaps on the sides.

Look much better Max
