Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Tropical. Airfix 1:48.
The Hurricane was getting towards obsolescence by the start of WW2, but this tough, partly fabric covered aircraft played a crucial role in the early part of the war and went with the BEF to France in early 1940. We all remember the scene of them getting shot up at the start of the movie ‘Battle of Britain‘, shown elsewhere on my site.
Quite a bit of work went into the construction of this kit although most of it you can’t see as it’s inside the fuselage! Airfix have taken to adding a lot of interior details to their models of late, no bad thing in my opinion.
There were one or two oddities with this kit, one of which was having to cut out a sizeable piece of plastic under the nose.
One thought on “Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Tropical. Airfix 1:48.”
Excellent representation of a great British aircraft. Odd thing to expect the modeller to do cutting a bit out of plastic, but that’s Airfix and I love em. Very unusual scheme be interesting to find out the thinking on that one.Nice diorama sets it off well
