Hi @szelljr

I'm not a big specialist, but could it be that the tail wasn't red but orange like on the South Africa flag?

Another rare and exclusive photograph of szeljr while painting "Lady Shirley" on Capt Peter Metelerkamp’s Hurricane Mk IIb trop (BD588) of Nº 1 Squadron SAAF at LG-15 Bir Zimla, near Mersa Matruh, Egypt, in June 42.

Notice to skinners : As with most british aircrafts, there was two camouflage schemes on Hurricanes (all sub-types and theaters of operation) : "A" and "B" (mirrored) patterns.

Usually, "A" scheme on aircraft with even serial number, "B" scheme on aircraft with odd s/n.

What theatre of war were these plane skins used in? From what I know the filter and this camouflage was only used in Greece?

Just to clarify this practice was abandoned in early 1941. Manufacturers were told to stick with one pattern and most went with 'A'.

szelljr... you have the right to remain silent, to contact your attorney within 48 hours or defend yourself alone...

Alternatively, you will be deprived of custody of A3 look... unless you produce an attractive A3 skin within the next 7 working days !

The verdict is final.

Cool skins as usual szelljr... while you're skinning the Hurricane, could you make more Hurri from unit employed above northern Europe in 1941 during the ramrod, circus and rhubarb operations (perphaps in the future, I'll make some too)

thanks for your great work
