One thought on “1/72 Arma Hobby Hawker Sea Hurricane MkIb, Z7153, No.801 Naval Squadron, HMS Eagle, Operation Pedestal, August 1942.”
Upper wing roundels in the wrong place. There was a formula for upperwing roundel placement, for all RAF and FAA aircraft, roundel centre 1/3 of span in from tip. Hurricane span, 40 foot, or 480 inch /2 = 240 inch, /3 = 80 inch. see page 19 here https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Camouflage-Markings/Hawker-Hurricane I spotted this on ALL Hurricane builds as well.
And the Arma instructions show the right position. Oh, and there is no Hurricane Mk.Ia either. the letter suffix is for the armament fitted, and the Hurricane Mk.I only ever had the 8 gun wing. Hope of use in the future.
