Nate:
Airwaves makes a very nice ventral camera housing in 1/48 scale. Available by mail order from E.D.Models,

Hannant's as well. That's where I got mine.
Second, what is a good reference source for this aircraft - SAMI's > Hurricane book?
> Or does someone have a good description of a PR type Hurricane?
Scale Aircraft Modelling Colours series, #2, "The Hawker Hurricane,
1939-1945" by H.C. Bridgewater, ISBN 0-9539040-4-0. This pub has a number of colour profiles of tac-rec Hurricanes in North Africa and the Far East. Only problem is that out there they apparently painted their Tac-Rec aircraft something called "Bosun Blue", which apparently is a very dark blue. Can't find any reference on this colour anywhere. If you find anything, let me know.Bill Shuey
