-I am slightly puzzled by the fuselage roundel colours. On the masked photo it states a red centre, white, blue and then the yellow outer, however, the finished roundels appear to my eyes to have a blue centre, white, red and then the yellow outer. Or is it because it’s April 1st?

-Was just about to post that. The roundel looks well off !

-Sincerely hope that is an April fool joke and not a proper paint job !!!!

-I must be missing something, but I always associated the red outer ring and blue inner circle as the roundel of the French Air Force.

-Other sources suggest the more usual insignia.
There is no way, is there, that the colours somehow got mixed up between drawings and application ?
Did not this Mk Hurricane actually have a PT 6 engine, like some of the late-production Swordfish ?

-I looked at every caption for some explanation about the roundels and finflashes to suggest it was an April Fool's gag, so well-done is the photo retouching! Bravo to all!
Also the real deal looks fantastic. It must be an exciting time to be at VWoC working on her.

-Dave O'Malley, who authors all the stories on our website, is a graphics genius, and has a great sense of humour. He sure got me on this one, hook-line-and-sinker.
Anyway, you're right. The Hurri looks wonderful. And since the Vintech team finished with the Spitfire IX last year they've been pushing ahead with this new project at a great rate.
I hope to fly it this Fall.
