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 nowπ
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 π

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 π
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.

Thanks Erik βΊοΈ
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.

Decided to add the roundels to the underside, to be covered by the orange triangles Β

Looking good, love the orange triangles, and can't wait to see it finished.

Looking brilliant Jan. Great to see this classic kit given some TLC. PS Good music choice too! 🙂

Cheers Andy π
I think it was the best before the Arma kit came along.

Mooi Jan !! Ik heb al een tijdje een Hurricane in de stash, en maar besloten deze ook als KNIL versie te bouwen

Zo te zien heeft jouw model meer vlieguren gemaakt dan de echte KNIL Hurricanes. π

Dank je Hans.
They did fly quite some missions though, must have been a hard life.
