This is not just another hurricane its a famous Hurricane of No1 Squadron RAF .IT was flown by a Czech pilot called Karel Miloslav Kuttelwascher .
he flew night intruder missions in 1942 attacking German bombers over there bases in france,in 15 flights he scored 15 kills.

Doesn't look that bad (the nose art). There's probably nothing you can do about it, because you only get so many pixels to work with on the nose.

Here is the same bird from IL-2. The coloring is a bit different.

Always thought this would be a nice skin for AH.

On the nose-art, could you make the scythe's handle a bit more noticable? I didnt know what it was until I looked closely at your link. Perhaps simply darken it?

the nose art looks perfect till its shrunken down then it goes all crazy.

Maybe if the time settings was different, like 8AM..the nose art would show up better in the screenshot.

It's hard to see it in the shadow.

Don't go by IL2 skins. Most of them are off, and that one seems way off in color tone (the camo is faded to the point of blending into itself but the black is sharp and vibrant.... suuuure...
