Build thread here: http://www.scale-models.co.uk/thread...ane-iic.29998/


NF698 served with No.835 Squadron Fleet Air Arm. In July 1944, whilst being flown by Sub Lieutenant Sam Mearns, NF698 ‘7D’, in company with another Sea Hurricane, attacked two Junkers 290 and downed one, coded 9V+GK (WrN 164) and flown by a Leutnant Kurt Nonneberg. Four of the crew were picked up after the aircraft broke up on impact with the sea. This was the last Hurricane aerial victory of the Second World War.


Apologies for the photos, white is a real bugger to photograph.

HMS Nairana with the white Sea Hurricanes on No.835 Squadron on deck. You can see how small some of these escort carriers were.

Really nice Joe, and as others have said, a great scheme. I made the land version of this a couple of years ago, and found it a joy to build - apart from the step at the wing root, which you found a smart solution for.
