Hurricane Mk IIc - No. 73 Squadron, North Africa, 1942 (non-mirrored)

Steve Day and Edward both asked that I add a Volkes tropical filter equipped Hurricane 3DZ model to the Spit V Trop I just completed. (intended for Emils' and Prune's upcoming Med and Malta campaigns - or you can fly it in the current Med or Torch campaigns.)

So here is the 3DZ model for an earlier version Mk Ia.

All existing skins would need to be changed to fit the new model which is non-mirrored. So, I also adapted a couple of all time favorite older Med Hurricane skins so they will fit the new model. This one is Lumkin and E's Mk Ia skin.

It's dangerous for me to do little add ons to a model, because I can't seem to just make a simple addition anymore without going over the models to improve them. So the new Hurricane has the prop thrustline raised, the nose reshaped, the fuselage lengthened, oil cooler profile smoothed, tail planes reshaped, the upper fuselage contours lowered, etc. The original model I started out with was Capitan Manduca's with non mirroring upgrades from Ghostboy.

This was all done quick and dirty, so it is still not a perfect Hurricane model. My time is becoming more limited and I couldn't invest in a complete rebuild right now. But it's a worthwhile improvement along with adding the Volkes tropical filter. 

Cheers

Captain Kurt

From the original skin read me:

Installation: unzip *.TPC files and *.3DZ files to your EAW directory (or appropriate subdirectories if you use STAB or a similar utility).

Removal: Delete *.TPC and *.3DZ files.
