Hawker Hurricane

4,051 ElHoncho  8.0 years ago

"The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft of the 1930s-1940s that was designed and predominantly built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Although overshadowed by the Supermarine Spitfire, the aircraft became renowned during the Battle of Britain, accounting for 60% of the RAF's air victories in the battle." - Wiki. About this simplaPlanes model it´s pretty straight forward, trim a little for level flight. And #8 for lights. One tiny problem; when you retract landingears fully, the plane start to roll?

    Since it has the 4 20mm guns this would be the Sea Hurricane Ic

    @ElHoncho Oh, the IIc. The naval versions did have those, thought it was a IIb or a Ib/L. My mistake.

    @TehNewDucky Thanks, always good with Constructive criticism. Yeah the wings are a bit off. But the arment I have to disagree. The plastic model in front off me is a MkIIC and it clearly have two 20mm guns in each wing. Cheers

    @ElHoncho Your model was a tad bit incorrect with the guns, as a hurricane no matter the model, had at least 8 machineguns, and the wings are a little weird on the slope. Detail-wise it's gorgeous. Only reason I'm giving criticism is because I've been making hurricanes for a while and have had to look at schematics and such. Grats on the feature!
