Thank you all. It is a very nice kit. I built only from the box, only the wing and fuselage were on the kit and I used Eduard strips and exhausts and masks.
Hurricane Mk.II exhaust rounded (Eduard 632188, 1:32)
Hurricane Mk.IIb seatbelts (Eduard 33344, 1:32)
Hurricane Mk.IIb masks (Eduard JX305, 1:32)
