country flier Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Tony,When I build mine in 2038 it will be silver as was K5038. Simple schemes like that really appeal to me. Also here in se Nebraska camoflauge schemes might work too well since my neighbors are farmers.You've created a real winner with the Hurri.Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 How the hell do you do it Tony, " designed, built, covered, flown all within the space of what 1-1 1/2 months, good grief takes me that long just to get an ARF out of the box. Really nice looking model, 72 or 80 Saito should do just fine at 8-9 pounds.Great job Tony keep it up ( the work that is ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Cooke Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 What a beautiful model! As a suggestion for a colour scheme, what about "The last of the many" PZ865/G-AMAU, Hawker's 1950s display model which ultimately joined the Battle of Britain Memorial flight in 1972 ? ( see 'Aeroplane' magazine October 2007 page 67). Jonathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David RAFster Martin Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Tony,I am a fan of the "Night Reaper" from the Czech ace who was a top ace night fighter.He received the DFC and Bar. Karel Kuttelwascher's "Night Reaper" BE581. The photo I've posted is of the Memorial Flight's Hurricane done in the scheme to honor his achievements. Coincidentally, the top scoring ace in the Battle of Britian was also Czech. JX-E coding, black undersides and rudder with green and grey camo on top. Scythe in yellow and Night Reaper on the red banner on the right nose panel.An article about the ace's career in the RAF: http://www.rogerdarlington.me.uk/nighthawk.html David Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Cane Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Great one Tony,cannot wait for plan,any idea when? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walts Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 nice job Tony, I look forward to seeing the finished article. I'll get the plan when it comes out to keep for the future, but wont build it until I've finally found out how my WR Hurri flies ( I simply don't have the space to keep two 62" Hurricanes at the moment)thanks for not taking care with the rear end, It probably goes against your grain, but helps us heavier builders get a realistic idea of the likely final AUW and stops us saying "How the hell does he build so light" cheers,Walts.

David RAFster Martin Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 BTW, Last of the Many (PZ865) is now displaying the JX-E colors I posted earlier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Nijhuis Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Finally finished it in the last hour (three nights of painting and a touch of weathering)..... Decided to go for an early colour scheme of 73 Squadron France 1940......Built at Brooklands early 1940 as MK1, up-graded to Mk11A and sent to Russia May 42. Returned to New Zealand and restored and took to the air in Jan 2000 .The free plan will be out in the RCM&E Special October this year so hold tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
