1/48 Hasegawa Hurricane Mk1

--------------------

 

This is the Hasegawa Hurricane Mk1. I dropped the flaps (scratch built) and chopped the rudder, tail plane and tail to simulate battle damage. The exposed structure was scratch built with plastic rod. I used the Tamiya 1/48 Kubelwagon and added some ICM Luftwaffe crew figures.

The inspiration for this diorama came from the Battle of Britain film, relating to the letter sent to Churchill by Air Chief Marshall Dowding AOC Fighter Command regarding sending more fighter sqns to France. 

The letter and a picture of Dowding are set out alongside the Hurricane.
