[Tac]

It's a Hurricane.

I cant see how far back the scoop under the fuselage is.


If its in the middle/towards the front then its a hurricane.

However, if its more towards the back of the fuselage it could be a Macchi C202 or 205. Also notice the shape of the cockpit frame resembles the c202/c205 more than the hurricane (the 'cane had a longer-looking canopy).

OK, so I'm not the only one that thought the fuselage and cockpit canopy didn't resemble a Hurri-I, phew.  At first I thought maybe an early P-40 cockpit and fuselage, but that air intake and those thick wings...  but that air intake!... doesn't look like a C202 or 205s, and it's wings also seem to be 2x the thickness at the roots than a c202 or c205...  Maybe a Hurri I, with the wings of a Hurri II and with the fuselage and canopy from a C202?....  $0.02

Fuselage, maybe, but that canopy....  are you 100% positive?

[skorpion]

the canopy looks nothing like a c202. the fuselage could have been a p40 at a quick glance, but this is definately 100% a hurri MK-1.

and our guest for today's game:


Looks like you guys slept through that day in aviation history class.

That models canopy looks more like a C202s than a Hurri Is, no disputing it, unless you need help counting.  Overall though, I would say it is an odd looking Hurri Mk I.

Look at where the fuselage drops after the canopy. Looks too much like a Hurricane than a C2.

anyway.... i just confirmed with him... its a hurri... and I JUST WON 5 MINS WITH IT!!! WOOOHOOOO..... he's letting me try a f4u electric first tho... for the fear i will wreck it on take off.. but THANKS GUYS!! wouldn't have done it without your help!!

[FiLtH]

 Most RC models unless done really well are too tuff to call. Ive seen some F4us that look pretty crappy and you'd never know it was supposed to be one.

[Guppy35]

Let's put it this way.  It is supposed to represent a Hurricane, but it does it quite poorly

[Shuffler]

hmm...now that i look at it more closely, its definately 100% a hurricane. best bet would be a hurriMK-1. the engine block screams hurricane.

lol it's an RC engine. Nothing like the real deal.

i think you took it wrong   i meant on top, not where those huge arse blocks were sticking out.

Yeah looking through pictures for my last post I noticed the fuselage tapering was definetley closer on the model to a Hurri than that of a C202.  What we see of the wings also supports the Hurri I answer, as well as the windscreen (front quarter of the canopy) and the scoop shape definetley looks like a Hurri.  It did pop into my mind on the way home, this being painted in what apears to be a North African paint job, but wasn't there also a CV version of the Hurri MkI?  Did it have a different canopy?

Agreed, but it's a flying model, good enough and then some.

Alot of rc aircaft manufactuers try to make things look as scale as they can.  However, the have to cheat with the design so they can fit in electronics, batteries, engines, servo's ect...
