Well it was to me. Having commenced the build of this ancient Revell Hurricane with no particular plan in mind I eventually decided to follow up my recent La-7 and finish it as a Soviet machine in much the same colour scheme.

Hurried Hurricane part 2 - a surprise ending?

The Soviets did use Hurricanes, Tim.

"The Hawker Hurricane was the first Allied Lend-Lease aircraft to be delivered to the Soviet Union with a total of 2,952 Hurricanes eventually delivered,[117] becoming the most numerous British aircraft in Soviet service"

Er, yes I know.
Fabulous paint job. As noted, the Hurricanes were a big LL item, which is why Zvezda make a nice 1/144th scale one.
That looks really great Tim. Bit of a chilly holiday to send it on though.
Cheers,
Pete.

I still have a very high mileage and tatty 1/144 (Revell) Hurricane in Soviet markings.

I suspect that at the moment it would settle for any holiday it gets!
A lend lease Hurricane! I never would have thought of that. So pretty in its unfamiliar livery, at that!
Oh, absolutely beautiful paint scheme, sir! Very well done.
