I had some leftover decals from my Airfix Hurricane and an old Airfix Hunter. This "What-if?" build is based on this 111 Squadron Hurricane which participated in the "Fete de l'Air" at Villacoublai, France, during the Bastille Day celebrations on 9 July, 1938. This Hunter participated in the 25th anniversary of the same celebration in 1953, marked as its predecessor. Coincidently the 50+ year-old model has 111 Squadron as the kit decals.

I added nose weight, a tailpipe, and blanking plates in the intakes and wheel wells. The rest is OOB. I used the Hurricane decals and brush-painted the thing with Humbrol, Testors, Floquil, and Citadel paints.

Waste not, want not!
