I got a photo on my HD of a IIb armed with one 20mm & one 12mm per wing

That's probably a nonstandard Russian plane. They put all sorts of wierd ammo setups on their planes. They were notorious for field modifications. Heck, they added rear turrets to planes that didn't have them! C-47 and IL2 included! (IL2 didn't always have a back seat, they put it in with field modifications, then it became production standard)

Maybe (hopefully) i will get my Seahurricane when they do that?

The first Hurricanes were lauchend from merchant ships with catapults to defend allied convoys. That was a one-way street for them, as the pilot had to ditch close to the convoy or bail, and hope to be rescued, i guess mainly because those ships didnt have a flight deck.

Later (in October 1941) the added hooks to the MkIB or MkIIA: Seahurricane MkIB, wich were able to launch (catapult) and land on small CVs (modified big merchant ships with a small flight deck).

The Seahurricane MkIC had the quad hispano mounted wings of our MkIIC.

The last british Seahurricane version was the MkIIC, which could be launched and land on conventional CVs.

So id either like a Seahurricane MkIB - 8x303s, or a Seahurricane MkIIC - 4x20mm (perked).

Yeah Schatzi I requested same bird!!!
