Responsibility details are not available.
This is a decal sheet with the markings of one particular machine, not a sheet of national insignia on their own and not technical stencils. The box states a Hawker Hurricane Mk.I with the serial number P2961 and the code LE-A of No. 242 Squadron RAF, that is the machine of the pilot McKnight. The manufacturer Aviaeology distinguishes two versions and that difference decides the purchase: Basic contains only the markings unique to the given machine, whereas Full adds the national insignia to them. This item is the Full Set. The manufacturer also issued the same subject as a Basic Set under the part number ADD24007-1X, without the national insignia.
No. 242 Squadron RAF was for the most part Canadian in 1940, and P2961 was among the best known Hurricanes of the Battle of Britain. It was flown by the Canadian fighter pilot William Lidstone McKnight, who had the aircraft marked with a personal painting of the Grim Reaper with a scythe. The Hurricane Mk.I was a single-engine fighter of mixed construction, with a tubular lattice fuselage and eight machine guns in the wing; it took more hits than the more delicate fighters of its day. P2961 did not return from an offensive flight over France in January 1941.
For modelers who build this particular Hurricane in 1:24 and want the markings including the national insignia. Compare the version against a photograph of the machine you are building.
This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
