I've picked this up again, wanted to start it a couple of times before, but got distracted by other kits😉

Great to see you picking this one up! I hope someday more pictures of Dutch East-Indies Hurricane's will appear, so few exist now, I believe 1 or 2?

Erik, it took some time, but I wanted to get it done nowπŸ™‚
I also know of only two pictures of the hurricane in dutch service, in those hectic days taking pictures wasn't really a priority I guess.

Welcome Guy!

Here's an interesting blog on the hurricane used in the Netherlands Indies.

It seems the vokes filter was removed from some airframes in order to make it go faster.... So I can get away with building it without a filter πŸ™‚

Jan Peters
Another Vokes filter was pinched from the Eduard hurristory kit, as well as the plastic wheels from that kit. The vokes filter I had from revell was crooked, and didn't look right.
I guess I will be building at least one bob hurricane in the future πŸ™‚
The wheels from the revell kit look wrong, the hubs are too big.
As the hurristory kit has a set of resin wheels I decided to steal the plastic wheels for this one.

Great progress Jan. You can sand the landing lights flush with the wing and polish them back to clear I guess.

Jan Peters
Thanks Erik ☺️
The lights are quite flush, so I think it will be ok.

First paint is on, Sky type s by hataka.
My first time using this paint trough the airbrush, I must say I'm very pleased with it.

Zo te zien heeft jouw model meer vlieguren gemaakt dan de echte KNIL Hurricanes. πŸ‘
11 December 2023, 07:26
Jan Peters
Dank je Hans.
They did fly quite some missions though, must have been a hard life.
