"Today we present painting and marking schemes that you will find in the box with the new Sea Hurricane Mk.IB (70061). Together with Wojciech Łuczak, a well-known military journalist, expert and fan of naval aviation, we chose five schemes. They are connected with the two most important episodes of the Sea Hurricanes Mk.IB’s fighting career: Operation Pedestal – the mission to deliver critical supplies to Malta, and the Arctic convoy PQ-18, which set off for Murmansk as the first after the break forced by the famous massacre of the PQ-17 convoy. Wojciech Łuczak also traced their previous history: it turned out that some of these Hurricanes were “guys with the past” – before navalisation, they had fought in land squadrons – also during the Battle of Britain"......................................Arma Hobby
