Having commenced the build of this ancient Revell Hurricane with no particular plan in mind I eventually decided to follow up my recent La-7 and finish it as a Soviet machine in much the same colour scheme. I hand painted some shaky stripes on the tail and the decal box provided the rest. Given that the Hurricane is - certainly to my eyes - such a distinctive shape it's quite difficult to make it look 'different'. I hope you think it's a success.
