Revell 1/72 Hurricane

[stillp]

A quick build, that I could have done better in a number of areas but I didn't think the kit deserved having much time spent. Still, it looks a bit like a hurricane
Not too bad for £1!

Not too bad all for £1. Have a version of one of these in the stash!

Well done.

Love the black and white underside Pete.
Putting on my nerd hat, because I live near RAF Northolt and I have a thing for 303 squadron; I'm curious to see the Czech insignia beneath the cockpit rather than the usual Polish. I assume it's what came with the kit,is there any specific info?
Could Frantiszek be the pilot, maybe?
Cheers

To be more precise Neil: Sgt (723451) Josef FRANTIŠEK DFM & Bar (Cs.pilot) RAFVR and https://armahobbynews.pl/en/blog/2018/10/27/hurricane-sergeant-frantisek-the-best-of-the-few/
I wonder if this quote "Polish unit was ordered to return to base. Suddenly František broke and disappeared. It is possible that it did not get Polish pilots attention, although they probably noticed it." from the page linked above is the origin of the scene in The Battle of Britain film in which the "trainees" pretend to have not understood a 'return to base' order?
