Ah this is a sight for sore eyes - the Hurricane doesn't get built enough & whilst I don't claim to be an expert, I think this is the aircraft that won us the BoB (IMHO)

Looking forward to seeing more Peter

When the Airfix 1/24th Spitfire first came out it blew everyone away basically by it's sheer size. So much so that everyone forgave it it's deficiencies of poor fit and lack of detail as we still loved the size and therefore the ability to attend to scratch built detail that had never before been considered. Remember this was at a time when 1/72nd offerings were supplying a blob of a pilot that sat on a pair of transverse pins in a completely bare cockpit!.

Then the time came to rethink the Spit's deficiencies and the 109 was significantly better but the even later Hurricane was actually a really good kit with much better internal detail such as the gun bays and wheel wells. It still is a cracking kit and stands up well against many modern models.

I'm looking forward to watching this one as I still really love the Airfix 1/24th scale aircraft series as they all take me back to my youth.

A large scale build! Nice engines too. I will be following this as I am thinking of getting a 1:24 scale model soon as I have never built one before. (The largest I have built is 1:32)
