Very nice, distinctive looking Hurricane.

I know it has its critics, but I do like that kit. I shall have to put a few by for when it is retired.

Superb Build Tom, I'm getting decals ready for the same scheme. For the record though according to my research you've used the wrong spinner?

You do get 2 spinners with the Mk I/IIb kit. One is for the Mk II, but maybe that is the one that George is referring to
