Hurricane Comin'!
Long ago when I was between the 6th and 7th grade, I received a Monogram Hurricane kit for my birthday. T his was the first model I built as a replica and not a toy to play with. I guess that was the real start to my life long hobby. Consequently, I've always been fond of the Hawker Hurricane. As time went on, my modeling interest settled on post-WWII aircraft; I was never much interested in WWII subjects. But, when I came across a Revell kit visiting a hobby shop, the nostalgia bug bit me! Along the way I, also, came by an Airfix kit being sold on a modeling forum. So, here is a Hurricane Mk IID tank buster in a revisit to my first modeling project. The Mk IID is a special release under the "Airfix Club" label and contains the 40mm gun pods. The Revell kit depicts a Mk IIC in the China, Burma, Indian theater. A few comments about this build. Somewhere along the journey I stressed the Revell canopy; there are micro fissures along the the top. T
