1/48 Hobbycraft Hawker Sea Hurricane

Starting out with Hobbycraft's Hurricane, I added a tailhook and Fleet Air Arm markings to create my Sea Hurricane.  The camouflage, national insignia and ID letter and numbers were painted on with the aid of paint mask from Gator's Paint Mask (www.geocities.com/gatorsmask).  I also had Gator's make the decals for the aircraft's name and kill markings.  Even though this squadron would have been flying Spits at the time of D-Day, the addition of invasion stripes makes this a striking paint scheme.
