This is the PCM 1/32 scale metal winged Hurricane. It's the only game in town unless you want to adapt the ancient Revell offering. I've been there and done that and didn't fancy it again!
The PCM kit doesn't fall together but there are plenty of goodies in the box,even if the injection moulded parts are fairly basic and it certainly looks like a Hurricane to my untutored eye.
The build thread is here if you want to follow my trials and tribulations.

Here's my "walkaround"
I discovered the day before yesterday that the "Boot kicking Adolph up the arse" emblem was applied to all 242 Sqn. aircraft and,too late for me,to both sides of the noses on Bader's and McKnight's machines.
Oh well!
It's been fun
Cheers

Beautiful build of a beautiful aircraft Steve, big five mate.
Have fun, John
Has to be a 6 Star build.
Tony..Oh my fingers are stuck now.....
Cracking build Steve, really nice model.
Nice bit of info. re. the emblem, we live and learn don't we?
Quick question:- What is the blue rectangle decal below the cockpit please?
Big five for sure.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. You can't go wrong with a Hurricane,what a fine machine.
Ron it's a Squadron Leader's pennant. In WWI they were literally pennants attached to the rigging of the bi-planes but by WWII they were painted on like this. Most commanders don't seem to have bothered but I don't think Bader was the type to forego an opportunity to show his rank.Originally Posted by spanner570

excellent work. i need to add some british planes to my stash. i really like this one and the typhoon. great job.
Steve! That is a beauty!
Not a lot to add that has not been said during the build, but I will say that you have obviously enjoyed building this and it shows. Really nice. Now go and build his Spitfire!
Five big ones from me.

That is stunning Steve.
I'm looking to do a Hurricane in the future to compliment my current Spitfire build but in 1/48th. Maybe when I've got a bit more experience I'd like to try 1/32 scale.
Was it a tricky build then?
Beautiful build steve on an iconic aircraft! It certainly doesnt show that you had a bit of a battle with the kit ,it looks superb. Great to see the nose art too, 41 sqn adapted this design on one of their jaguars during the first gulf war, XZ364 - 'Sadman' , showing a boot kicking saddam hussein up the jacksie!! 5 star build, and no mistake!!! cheers tony
