1/48 Airfix Hurricane Mk I
This is the new tool Airfix Hurricane Mk I. The kit was great and I think is arguably the best out there in 1/48 of the Hurricane. I added resin exhaust and wheels from Brassin by Eduard and stole a rear view mirror from one of my Hasegawa [...]
Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I early
