The markings/camo scheme were inspired by an article in a 2005 edition of Scale Aviation Modeller about Export Hurricanes. The article stated that Hurricane KX248 served with the Soviet Air force in 1944 while retaining its DE/MS over AB scheme. There was a nice artist's impression in this scheme with Red Stars at six points and a big 21 on the tail. Well, it looked quite striking and not a scheme commonly seen but further research seemed to indicate that KX248 was actually OG/DG over LG. Not to be put off, I raided the decals from my Matchbox boxing of the Polikarpov I-16 which just so happened to have some big, old Russian writing as well! Well, that had to go on too, didn't it?
So, it's not any actual Hurricane that served with the Soviets but, hey, I'm amongst friends here, right? 
The canopy looks a bit flat and I toyed with replacing it with a vac form one I have lying around but it just sits too high. I think the spine of the kit doesn't come up enough. I'm just finishing the Airfix old tool Mk II and that has the same issue.
You might be able to pick out Boris in the office, I put him there to hide the lack of detail but I probably needn't have bothered as he can hardly be seen.
I probably need to dull down the spinner, it's a bit too glossy. Weathering was kept to a minimum, I don't know how battered these aircraft were when they were sent to the Soviets but I wanted to avoid going too overboard.
