Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

This model was from the Hasegawa Hurricane MkI kit which went together like a dream and was a very enjoyable build.  Good amount of detailing inside and out like all the new range of Hasegawa kits.

I added Aires control surfaces as I wanted the elevators dropped and some True Detail weighted wheels apart from that it is OOB. The paint is Xtracolor Enamels in standard 1940 camouflage pattern B of dark green over dark earth with sky undersurfaces. 

The markings are of 56 squadron at North Weald airfield, Essex in August 1940 and were made up from the Xtradecal range of squadron codes and serials. Roundels and stencils from the kit.
