Re-issue of the CLASSIC KIT from 1973 ! 48 years young & still holding up- was long considered one of the BEST Hurricane kits in any scale, but in recent years has gathered some company. Recommended.

Product description

Hawker Hurricane Mk.I 1:24 Vintage Classics

Long considered one of the finest kits of the Hurricane in any scale, the mold still holds up in the face of stiff competition from newer, more elaborate moldings. It's chief rival is the family of four 1/24 Hurricanes issued by Trumpeter, which have been well received by the critics but are substantially more expensive & far more complex to build. Trumpeter likes to load up their kits with tons of detail, much of which cannot be seen after the build is done & thus consumes your time to put together. Also, I am not overly fond of the vinyl tires Trumpeter gives you. There are many horror stories out there detailing what happens to those things when they age. Airfix is less daunting to build & seems to give you just enough inner detail to satisfy many modelers. Both the Airfix & Trumpeter kits build up superbly & it becomes your choice as to which road to take. There is a MASSIVE nostalgia factor attached to the Airfix kit as it has been around for so long & has been enjoyed by so many people that most older modelers will always choose it first. I am happy to see it back & in spite of already having two older issues in my stash, may just add a third !

Check out the MANY online builds of this model for inspiration. There are some national treasures out there, as many artisans have poured their hearts & souls into the creation of their Hurricanes !
