Re: White Hurricane - Target USA

I could only find Spits in this color scheme...Notice the large intake under the cowling.

They're Royal Austrailian Air Force Mk V's with the 'Vokes' tropical air filter (notice the 3-a-side exhaust stacks).

Nice photo, Bullet - I've never seen that one before, makes a pleasant change seeing 'em in N.M.F.

And they are also in "natural metal".. Not white...

Re: White Hurricane - Target USA

Found some more info on this livery. It is a Sea Hurricane IIc of 835 Squadron, posted to the HMS Nairana, in 1944. Found that info here:
http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/ai...ahurricane.htm, which is a very good site for info on the Fleet Air Arm.

Re: White Hurricane - Target USA

Since as far as I know no one else has done a Sea Hurricane in 1/72 I'll pick this one up if it appears at my local Target. I was in there yesterday to buy Halloween candy and they only had a couple of Stukas and Corsairs from the pervious batch.

Re: White Hurricane - Target USA

Very nice, Starman! Did it get a coat of whitewash?

Hworth18 found me one at Target in Tulsa. Thanks again, H.W.!
It should be flying into Wichita later this weekend. I can't wait!

N. M. F. = Nude Metal Finish ? That poor spitfire is lookin' kinda nekkid.
