Superb interpretation of the camouflage. It looks just right and makes a welcome change from all those RAF schemes!

Hello Ricardo!
This is an excellent Hurricane.The paint scheme is marvelous!
Some weathering on the engine cover should made it better.
Congratulations

I applied no weathering because tha aircraft was completely repainted when came to Italy and shortly afterwards was used in a propaganda film where the Italian insegna were canceled; so the aircraft with this camamouflage is represented at is arrival in Italy, and the relevant photos show it with no weathering

Hi Rick, Hurrie looks great..

Hi
The background is the place where I live, near Florence, Italy. I used it even if the RA Hurricane was never here; the Florence airport, which i in this zone, was not important during the WW II.
