I will likely be making a Hurricane Mk IIb of 1449 Flight based in St Marys, Scillies.

Haven't had a chance to start yet, as I've had a few things to do around the house. I will try to start at the start of next week at the earliest. If all else fails I have the house to myself for 2 weeks in the middle of August

The rest of from today

The stripes are partially decals from a Matchbox Dauntless (I think a 1/32 one but the stripes were the right width), I had use paint to fill gaps and connect the fuselage stripes as it was a half one. As the white on the decals was more off white than the paint I used I went over it with paint

All finished

Here's a couple of quick photos

The decals are a mixture of Airfix (gunports and serials) and Revell (Roundels, fin flashes and walk line)
