Best Hurricane kit?

[BBdave]

I have built the 1/48 Italeri kit and to be honest my experience of the kit differs from the others. I don't know if i got a duff kit but i had fit issues and a bit of flash. On the other hand the transparencies and decals were fantastic.

Did you use all the decals?

It may be limited life moulds - can't see it being a marketing ploy - another model that made a brief appearance, in 1/72 was the Vickers Valiant ( 2011), that doesn't seem to available at all, even ebay!

This site doesn’t mark it as being out of stock, which might mean they still have one.

Thanks Jakko,
I've gone off the idea of the Valiant - my original intention was to make the Valiant, Victor & Vulcan - all in the white anti-flash finish, but then reality kicked in. Just the space needed to display them, not to mention the cost, put me off...................

I made version A which was the aircraft for Willie McKnight. All the other aircraft decals other than the common ones were not used and are in my decal box somewhere

Hi Dave
Eduard 1/72 and 1/48 kits have good reviews and if you're interested there is a reasonable amount of after market stuff available.

Eduard never produced any hurricanes in 1/72 nor 1/48...

In 1/32 I would say Trumpeter gets the crown.
1/24 Trumpeter also does a hurricane.
Italeri does a good kit for both the sea and land variants in 1/48
Airfix also do a good 1/48 hurricane
I have no idea about 1/72
