I would to share my recent project - Classic Airframes 1/48 early Hawker Hurricane Mk I made as an aircraft from 56 Sqn. RAF, with tri-color underside.
It was rather quiet and pleasant project except decals - I had to paint roundels, bottom numbers and letter “L” from Montex masks. I’ve changed wheels for proper five-spokes (Aires) and added few PE parts to cockpit including cicular sight and harness. I’ve made turning propeller, new navigation lights from transparent sprue as well as new Pitot tube (an early, “fork” type).
Hope you enjoy!
Comments are welcome.

Looking good Aleksander. The differences between this one and a regular Hurricane are subtle but noticable. How is that CA kit? A difficult build?
Hallo Borg R3-MC0!
Thank you for your kind words!
I have no big experience with CA kits, but I should say that it wasn’t a difficult build. The only problem is with the propeller shaft/gear - the instruction suggest to glue it on the engine covers (on the hole for propeller), but in my (and not only mine) opinion, it should be inside the engine compartment, so I had to trim it a little. Other parts went on places without bigger problems, although, after first look, I was afraid of fiting problems, but there were none. Very pleasant build in general, though I would recommend the model for rather experienced modeler.
Cheers.
Very nice, Aleksander. You did a more accurate job that I did when I built two of them a year or so ago. The ring sight and pitot tubes are well done! Not a bad kit, and I remember having to make a better fit for the propeller also. I did one as a 111 Squadron airplane, the first to equip with the type, and the other as one flown in the Battle of France by Albert Lewis.
Beautiful work there. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you all for kind opinions - it always stimulate me to do something new even better!
Nice choice of markings Aleksander, I love the black+white+doped wings.
That is one very nice plane you’ve build! Very very very NICE!!!
Got that kit in the stash, you did a great job Alek, I always enjoy that black-white underside paint scheme
