| Thanks, guys. On wings palette there are 273 color schemes from 24 different countries for this plane. |

| During WW11, The Brits used the large blue with Red center roundels on top of wings and the smaller blue white and red on bottom. The bottom and side roundels changed during the war from the large white ring to a narrow one. Same was true on the yellow fuselage ring, from large to small. The Mossie and Beaufighter had no bottom wing roundels. The set shown have both the early and late style roundels. |

| Looking forward to this build with baited breath...as I also have one in my stash. I will obviously be watching this one very closely. With ease I urge Dave on and forward...C'mon Mr.Duckett...pleasure your many fans with a prototype Hurri or a Rumanian or Portugese craft. Beyond that, So many choices...Bulgarain, Belgian...and then take the Finnish, now that would be truly cool bird. A Russian bird may be frought, but with a carefully applied winter camo this plane would also be awesome.
You have your idea in your head ( I myself don't know on earth what they might be.) I'm Just happy to see what emerges. That tigercat was awesome! Take care Mr.D |

| yes Ive notice that on my 3 spitz!The plastic scale models has the white roundels with reds dots in the middle and the guillows has blue roundels with red dots.I wonder why this is? |

| The tissue is in 20" x 30" sheets and there are 2 tan and 1 each of green and gray. The Roundels are 3" for the red and blue ones which go on the top of the wings, 2 1/2" for the red, white, and blue equal widths which go on the bottom of the wing, and 2 3/8" for the ones with the yellow outer band which go on the fuselage. On these the yellow is a gold color which is wrong. I'll trade the tissue to Scigs30 for decals. I'm sure he can put it to good use and I'll be covering with heavy grade silkspan as usual. About the decals: Guillows decals for the Spitfire have the big red and blue roundels for both top and bottom of the wing and I think that's wrong. Both my Spitfire and Sea Fury from West Wings have different roundels for the bottom, as does my Typhoon from Guillows and this Hurricane. |

Tissue and peel & stickers |

| I like the camo scheme, looks like it is all done with colored domestic tissue. Nice. |

| David, I can make you some decals for this, just send me a message with your email at the Guillows Forums. David |

| I have this one too, and it'll be my next build once I finish the peanut Pietenpol Camper I've started. Cool, now I can follow your build and see how a pro does it!

| 30" wingspan? This one is gonna rock! |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 13790 | 22 Aug 09 22:00 |
| I said I would build a Hurricane if I could find a decent kit...This looks great! It's a big as the Guillows Corsair and comes with Guillow 1 3/4" wheels which will be fine but I'll use the same kind as I'm using on the Tigercat. It also comes with peel and stick decals which I don't like so I'll use Guillows Spitfire decals which aren't quite the correct size but will be close enough. The canopy is covered with a protective blue plastic which peels off and the molding is superb. The few plastic pieces are fine, as well. I'm very pleased with this kit and I'll post a pic of the contents when I start to build it. It will NOT be in these colors!! |
