Pegasus 1/48 Hawker Hurricane

by Mervyn Cook on January 16, 2023 · in Uncategorized · 14 ≡

I love this kit! It's a snap fit but fits great and is very robust, the interior is pretty good and it's half the price of any other kit. The plastic is textured but on a matt finish it doesn't show, downside, landing lights are just [...]
