Revell, 1:32, Hawker Hurricane
Finished this one last week.
It’s the re-re-re-box of the re-re-re-re-release of the old Revell Hurricane, which was first released in ’67. ( I have build one too in my younger years, late ‘80’s….)
Considering it’s age it was a [...]
1/48 Hasegawa Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc RAF WWII
Spitfires and Typhoons Oh my! Since we are on the WWII RAF mode, I will toss in with the Hurricane Mk.IIc, this is the original boxing from Hasegawa when it first appeared in the early 90's. One of those kits which did not go straight [...]

Foreign Hurricane

Classic Airframes 1/48 early Hurricane I
The Classic Airframes Hurricane I is the only 1/48 kit that offers the opportunity to do a "ragwing" Hurricane. It is obvious the designers looked at the Hasegawa kit, which they corrected by changing the lower wing part so the [...]
