Hurricane Mk.I – Mk.II Question

Oh really? Hmmm … maybe you´re right. It seems I have been deceived by my picture (No.2).

Nice model….the tail wheel on the Mk 2 is a little bigger and wider and it has a link leg as opposed to the simple fork/damper system on the Mk1.

I wouldn’t bother with the spinner if your depicting Z7015 as she is now as she has a late style Rotol spinner fitted anyway.

Thanks for answering! It never came into my mind the tail wheel could be wrong …

Looking at pics of the real Z7015 I think they use the fish tail exhaust stabs on it and so they´ll stay. But I think I´ll exchange the tail wheel and the spinner for earlier ones, although I will not shorten the nose. Maybe some additional corrections on the camouflage and markings (serial, yellow ID-Stripes, tip of arrestor hook, ect.).

Indeed the model is a crossover of Revell´s Hurricane Mk.IIb with the Mk.IIc arrestor hook. When I started this kit some two years ago I had read all Sea Hurricanes Mk.Ib were converted Mk.IIa but now I know that was incorrect.

Oh by the way…very nice model!

Tail wheel, ejector stubs, later style Rotol spinner and blades along with what looks like a longer nose sujests a Mk.II airframe. The wings look like the 8 gun models found on Mk.I and Mk.IIa aircraft unless the ports for the other 4 guns have been filled in which case it would be Mk.IIb.

I would say MkII B wing but I am sure someone here will confirm that, Great model you have there Starfire
