Very nice, Rogerdee.   Those Romanian skins are colorful.    Romania was Axis, was it not?   So this Hurri fought against USSR and US bombers?

btw, a tip  - I believe if, when setting up a screenshot, you hit the 'Z' zoom key and then frame the picture as you want it, it will form a more realistic FOV, and eliminate the distortion (as in the stretching of that wing in the foreground) caused by the standard camera angle.

thanks for the tip  i always get that bit wrong.
these fought against the russians  none were airworthy by 1943 when american started bombing.
some hurricans were bought from england and some were captuerd from yugoslavia,all put up a good fight.
romania changed sides towards the end of the war  and ofught against there germans  alongside the russians  they had been shooting down,bit like the italians i guess

Great choise of skin.

Though just like your 109 skin it needs weathering and oil smear to look more used....

Both the skins look way too clean and hence too "cartoony"...
