Decals in 1:72 for the Hawker Hurricane Mk I in the markings of Polish squadrons of the RAF: No. 303 Squadron from Northolt and No. 306 Squadron from Ternhill, 1940.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Hawker Hurricane Mk I had a fuselage of steel tubes covered with fabric and a wing with eight machine guns. It was slower than the Spitfire, but it stood a hit and could be repaired quickly, and it was precisely this aircraft that shot down the most enemy machines in the Battle of Britain. Polish airmen, who carried on the fight from British bases after the fall of their homeland, settled into its cockpits as well. The sheet in 1:72 offers three of their machines.
Both units belonged among the Polish squadrons of the Royal Air Force. The one from Northolt became the most successful fighter squadron of the Battle of Britain and Urbanowicz was one of its commanders in the decisive weeks. Kent came to it as a Canadian in the service of the RAF and led one of the flights.
The fabric covering of the rear part of the Hurricane's fuselage has a fine structure of ribs. The print will settle onto it only after a softener has been applied and light pressure given with a soft brush, otherwise it stays stretched across the raised parts. The early Hurricanes still flew with a two-blade propeller and a fabric-covered wing, whereas the machines of the fall of 1940 already had a metal wing and a three-blade constant-speed propeller. The choice of scheme therefore affects which parts of the kit you use as well. The kit itself, paints and glue are not in the bag.
