Hurricane for Karelian Fans

[jollyjack]

Just uploaded my first two (Hurricane) skins for the coming Karelia Map, iInspired by the one at the Finnish Aviation Museum:

Of course the Roundel used here is not the real one, see Haluters for that:

Nice skin!

However I'd suggest to use "Sotamaalaus" colors (black and green) when you are using HC-452 registration (with dash). When they arrived in Finland they had these British camo colors painted only with HC452 registration number (without dash) and maybe a tactical number later on. Most of them were painted as "sotamaalaus" during 41-42. But that just an general idea of FAF Hurricanes. For example HC-452 had several tactical numbers and paintschemes during it's lifetime.

Black's html color code is #201f24 and green #404737 what I've found to be quite accurate.

I have couple of my own here painted as late war paintschemes:

Sorry, if this sounds nitpicking, that's not the point here. Just thought you might want to know. Like I said, there were many variants during the war.

Nope, thanks for the tips. Did not realize your work already done existed.

 

BTW any chance to find your FAF skins also on Haluter's some day? it's such a practical system ...

Personally I'm not too fond of it, but LLv34_Temuri asked me to upload some Finnish skins there for their campaign, so you should see most of those, if not all, when you filter with artist Hanu.

 

FYI: I have created only uncensored skins in case you cannot see them.

Personnally I prefer the look of the post-war roundels for censored skins just like in 1946. The censored ones in GB look weird, too much blank space.

Yep, already made german planes with the old kaiser cross instead of the that forbidden 'thing', on Haluters ...  wonder how long that red star will be legit LoL.

Guys, back on topic, please. The whole issue of swastikas has been beaten down, trampled, and then beaten down again. No need to keep going there.
