Greetings,
I have a friend who’s wanting to build a model of a Hurricane sitting on a catapult that was used on the CAM ships in WW2.
Havong searched through the net, there seems to be a shortage of photos apart from the normal one small one of the Hurri taking off under the rockets on the cataput.
Does anyone here have any close up pics or a link at all please?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Chris

I was thinking about this after I wrote it…I could call the shop and find out who built it and see if he has any pics of it…unfortunately my camera is away at the moment or I’d shoot some pics for you…but I will check into it…

Your friend should see the diorama at Don’s Hobbies here in Downtown Greeley…someone did EXACTLY that model with a 1/48 scale hurricane and built the bow of the ship and the ramp from scratch, and it is IMPRESSIVE…even managed to make it look like everything had been sprayed with salt water over the bow….wish i could get a pic of it to you…
