Modeldad will become famous soon enough
Asking the impossible, but does anyone know if this ebay pic is a Mk. I or II?

markjsheppard is an unknown quantity at this point
Hurricane model.

Hi

Very nice photo! Might bid for it.

As the majority of Hurricanes that went to Russia were MkIIA's, IIB's, IIC's and even IID's, I suppose it is a MkII. From memory I do not know of any MkI's going out. I do know that 100 were upgraded from MkI's to MkIIA's by Rolls-Royce and most of these did go to Russia. The ID was originally MkI but when lost in Russia were MkII's. (An example of this is the Hurricane ZK-TPK in New Zealand. It was originally P3351 but was upgraded to DR393).

Almost certain it is a IIA or IIB.

regards

MS

Hurricane

Am not an expert but this fuselage looks very smooth. It doesn't look covered with canvas. Well?
