Iliad Design of Canada has re-released one of their most popular decal sheets - Item No. 48001 Pre-War Hurricanes.

An extra scheme has been fitted on to this reincarnation.

 

 

Five pre-war Hurricane Mk.Is are covered on the sheet. They are all finished in a Dark Earth and Dark Green upper surfaces with various lower surface combinations of Aluminium, Night and White:

  • Hurricane Mk.I, L1568/S 73 Sqn 1938;

  • Hurricane Mk.I, L1643 NO-B 85 Sqn. Winter 1938/39

  • Hurricane Mk.I, L1975 UV-K 17 Sqn 1939;

  • Hurricane Mk.I, L1990 LR-R 56Sqn 1939;

  • Hurricane Mk.I, 315 1 Sqn RCAF 1939.

Instructions are offered over a folded A4 sheet in full colour, with one side plus upper and lower views plus notes on the camouflage and units.

 

 

Decals are printed perfectly on my sample, and colours look good.

 

 

Conclusion

 

These are five interesting subjects for your 1/48 scale Hurricanes.

This one has been out of print for quite some time and makes a welcome return - with an extra scheme to boot!

Thanks to Iliad Design for the review sample.
