HI
the VVS installed armament was AFAIK only installed on IIB type Hurricanes (and probably also IIA)
I have a load of pics of a IIB undergoing restoration of a VVS rearmed IIB, but not got around to sorting out the details (due to them being on another computer) but these show the VVS installed mounting bars added to the original gun bays.
I did post drawings of the external appearance in another thread though, here.
http://sovietwarplanes.com/board/index.php?topic=881.0If you are doing it as MkIV though, you'll need to change the wing panels and add a deeper armored radiator.(which you note) A long out of print book on the Hurricane (Hawker Hurricane, classic aircraft no.4, their history and how to model them, from the mid 70's about the 1/24th Airfix kit, yes, can scan drawings when I get chance, but book and and scanner are not here...the only bit you need is the radiator really)
had drawings of the radiator, and what I assume the the IID wing, from the pics i got sent from the Hurricane IV in Belgrade below.
I don't know that any of the references listed actually show a MkIV wing....well, not that match the photos!
There are a couple of threads going on Britmodeller regarding the MKIID and MKIV, and this will show what I mean, you would think this was an easy question to answer!
http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59225http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57739Here's some relevant information. (from the BM thread by me)
well, I emailed Tomo from the page you linked too, and asked if he had any pics of the upper wing, and he very kindly emailed some, and gave me permission to post them here as well.
As i suspected, the MK IV has a different panel arrangement, I though two large panels between the spars like the IIC, but looking at the pics closely, it seems it is one large panel in the outer position,(for the browning 0.303)and a metal strip not seen on the IIC on the outer edge. And one smaller panel behind the main spar in the inner position, IIRC this was to access the breech of the 40mm gun when fitted. Is the correct?
My next question is, did the IID have this panel layout, or did they just use a modified IIC wing?
note the blanked out landing light port next to yellow stripe, the 0.303 sighting gun port, and the blanked over inner port, which seems to show that the IV wing was based on a modified IIC wing. (at the factory i should have added on original post)
The thing on the wing leading edge next to the joining strip is a camera gun port.
Note
from Tomislav's build, very useful underside detail, note metal plate, stubs for attaching 40 mm gun, and ejector slot for the 0.303 Browning sighting gun.
Of note is the metal strip just by the shell ejector slot, in what looks like the same position as the one on the upper wing.
Are the little bumps further forward to do with positioning of the drop tanks?
Thanks to Tomislav for the photos and helping to answer to my question!
More general point, the port side panel is an emergency escape hatch, not a door. I have occasionally seen pics of Hurricanes with this removed, though normally with a load of other panels open too.
A better to remove is the one just below the cockpit, as it can show side detail and let light in so you can the rest of the inside.
Hurricanes are a bit of per subject for me, and there a few things I see in builds that irritate me, this panel being open, the other are dropped flaps, only down on the ground for servicing and scuffed paint showing metal under the cockpit, which is fabric covered plywood on the real thing.
The only pic of a "IID" is KX248 - bort 21, i say "IID" as more likely a MKIV, I have an old book listing KX247 as tropical IV. I will research further. (Graham Boak who posts here would most likely know)
good luck on your build, I hope this helps.
cheers
