New Hurricane paint

Thu Jul 26, 2007 11:09 am

I think it was stated here that the Fighter Factory Hurricane was in Canada for new paint. Any idea what scheme it is being repainted in?

Has the Lone Star Hurri been painted yet?

I was wondering about that as well.

I believe the LSFM's example will be painted up in the North Africa desert scheme, much like Vintage Wing's. Though I could e mistaken, Elroy will give you the scoop.

As for the FF's example, I'm kinda glad that there changing the paint job. It never really sat well with me. What squadron was it anyway?

Hey Jim!

Yes the LSFM Hurricane is still in the painting process. And it will be a desert camo scheme from L.C. Wades a/c. Its in good hands right now...just taking a little more time to complete.
