Mike Etheridge 1 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I have just spotted on Facebook they are making a film called 'Hurricane' about the Polish squadron 303. At last the Hurricane a star ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It’s about time. My favourite warbird. Hope to start a DB Hurri kit soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Etheridge 1 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It was my older brother's favourite plane. He is now 86 but served an apprenticeship at Hawkers in the late 40's / early 50's and won an award for becoming the second best apprentice. His prize was a book on the Hurricane.

John H. Rood Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Posted by ChrisB What kit/plan? REPLY: ChrisB, this is a brand-new design from the PSSA UK for a Hurricane in 1/9th scale. Have a look at the top of the page here, or simply click on this link: **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looks good. Unlike me you PSS guys don’t need to worry about squeezing an engine in. I’m planning on doing a topical scheme to include the filter which should give me a bit more space in the cowl. There are so many schemes to choose.

John H. Rood Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Bought a bottle of ammonia today for coaxing the balsa fuselage sheeting on the Hurrcane (and on 2016’s A-4 Skyhawk). Can’t wait to get that elixir up my nose! Edited By John_Rood on 25/02/2018 18:14:50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John H. Rood Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 The build plans and plastic cockpit canopy arrived tonight from Sarik Hobbies across the pond -- quite remarkable that this box was delivered to my doorstep amidst a major New England snowfall. Carefully packaged -- thank you, Sarik Hobbies. Plans were enclosed in a heavy ziplockbag and the the canopy double-wrapped in foam and looking in perfect condition.

John H. Rood Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Working on the 2016 Mass Build A-4 Skyhawk I have found that Squadron Leader Cooke's build blog efforts are thoroughly helpful. So now for this one I shall follow Phil's RN Sea Hurricane IIC blog to the letter --- and limit my posts here to anything in particular about my build that might somehow be worth mentioning.
