Hawker Hurricane Mk 1. Ready for Battle diorama. Airfix 1: 48 scale gift set.

The chaps on the wing are armourers loading the classic Colt-Browning machine guns, four to each wing.

This is the Airfix set starring a Mk. I Battle of Britain Hawker Hurricane in 1:48 scale. The aircraft is so well-known, I wont say anything about it save it was a very rugged aircraft and easy to repair and maintain in the field. The only extras I added myself were the hoses made from plastic tubing.

It was a very enjoyable project brim full of details and well worth the money! The dog’s name is Scamper, by the way!

A very busy scene! A problem fitting it all in!
I like the pilot running figure though not quite sure why he is running to the ‘Hurrie’ when a pilot is already clambering in! Perhaps he just wants to wish him good luck!

Love this scene, especially when the Me109s swoop in!

  1. Forgot how good that BoB scene is, that was some flying from the 109 ,s low or what ! Great diorama

    1. Thanks, really enjoyed that diorama with all the detail. The scene from BoB is phenomenal and yes took some flying at that height!
