Thank you very much ! 

[SAS~Malone]

nice! we can never have too many Hurricanes...
thanks Mike, will be making good use of this!

[SAS~Storebror]

Turns out that through several attempts to get the smoothing right, I have somehow lost the welding on LOD0, that's why the leading wing edge looks a bit odd.
Must be because I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to 3D.
A new version will be out soon, maybe (but unlikely) today, but for sure latest tomorrow where this will be fixed.
But it's really just the leading edge where this matters.

Best regards - Mike

[SAS~Malone]

for a Java guy, your 3d work is superb!
as for being an absolute beginner - we all have to start somewhere....

[Mick]

... it will look even better with Jero's spinner magic ...

" 1f.) Modact 2/Ultrapack 2/HSFX 4 users (IL-2 4.09):
                                               Extract the contents of this mod to the "MODS" folder of your game.
                                               Additionally download and install the 4.09 addon pack for this mod. "
