Thanks Timbo.

There are some pictures of this aircraft in the Squadron In Action series covering the Hawker Hurricane. Have a couple of pictures of it on the HMS Nairana during the summer of 1944.

Thanks CC - I do some looking on Google for the pics.

I had picked up a white Hurricane when they first started to appear at Target. (Then) I had looked at several (at a couple different stores) to find the one with the best paint job and a perpendicular tail. (I had even bought one at that time and returned it for one that looked better.)

Today I was in a Target and they had 2 white Hurricanes - I looked at both, and they seemed to look better than the one I bought months ago (which was still never removed from the box). I picked up the best of the 2; took it home; and it definetly has a better paint job that the one I previously bought. The white seems "thicker", more white, on the more recent purchase.

I will keep the one I bought today and the earlier purchase is going back.

I'm wondering if changes were made in the middle of production - making the ones ran through later, with a better looking paint job?
