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 [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Hurricane Mk.1
This is Tamiya's re boxing of the Italeri Mk.1 Hurricane, it was built with the addition of an Eduard Big-Ed set and won 1st place in the Riverside Scale Modellers October model of the month contest. Painted with Vallejo Model Air and [...]
Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.
Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]
1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane Mk IIC – Special Night Finish
Here are a couple of shots of Trumpeter's 1/24 Hurricane. I bought the kit second-hand at a model show last spring and built it in the summer. It's OOB except for replacement belts. The livery is for a night fighter of 87 Squadron in [...]

Foreign Hurricane
This is a recent club challenge build of a Pegasus snap-together kit in 1/48th scale. I am surprised that a $10 kit designed for beginners would have wheel well and cockpit detail -- chunky, yes, but respectable nonetheless. I decided to [...]
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 [...]
Roland Robert Stanford-Tuck
Roland Robert Stanford-Tuck, with 30 victories one of the top RAF aces of the Second World War, joined the RAF in 1935 at age 19 on a short service commission, following two years at sea as a cadet.
Tuck did not at first take to flying, [...]
It’s Hurricane time so…1/24 Trumpeter IID “Tank Buster”….
One of Trump's better efforts, IMHO. The spinner is a bit too long but otherwise I think the lines are pretty good and the rivets work in this scale. What possessed me to do a kit of such largesse I'm not sure, but I do love Hurricanes, [...]
