Here are some pictures of my last WW II bird. This is the Revell 1/72 sea hurricane built basically OOB, except for some added seat belts. This kit is rather easy to complete. Little effort is required to get something that looks like a sea hurricane.

My main problem was to find out what scheme to apply. The kit instructions mention sky underside and white upperside while other information seems to indicate the aircraft was all white. I finally decided to paint my bird white overall. I used Vallejo acrylic paints and this for the very first time. That was a real pleasure. This paint sprays really easily even with no undercoat.

I painted the anti-glare panel with aero master paints following the dark gray / dark green scheme. A soft drybrush at the end with black/ brown and here it is.
