This kit is
brilliant. It was a joy from opening the box to applying the last coat of
varnish. The detail for a 72'nd kit is excellent and the fit of all parts is
superb.
The Hurricane is a
graceful enough aircraft, often overshadowed as a modelling subject by the
Spitfire. I think the tropical variants look even more purposeful with their
intake scoops beneath the nose, and as with all Hurricane variants I think the
'Cane looks great on the ground; with it's Rooster-like legs that make the
Spits undercarriage look positively spindly. I was a little disappointed that
the kit makes it hard for you to leave the canopy open, as the cockpit detail is
really good for a 72'nd kit. Also, the cable between fuselage and tail got a
kink in it that I couldn't straighten out, so apologies for that.
This kit was
entirely brush painted, with stock decals used and panel lines accentuated using
watercolours. All colours were mixed using Revell and Humbrol enamels. By the
way... don't mix primary marking colours whilst drunk, as I did. Trying to find
the same 3 colour mix out of eighty or so tins one you've run out is tough!
Cheers
