RAF007 - Hawker Hurricane (1 Viewer)

[Major Major]

Hi, anybody get this model? Any opinions? Makes a good alternative to the nice, but pricey Warbirds series and has apparently already all sold out!

 

[Rob]

Not yet,but it arrives next week and I can't wait!.

Great, you must be eager to hear the postie walking up the path..! Model looks great esp with the sliding canopy. I think with the sold out response on this one there could be quite a few others planned..!

I certainly am!.If you go back through Andy's posts he listed some of the Aircraft that will be made in this series,they incude a Spitfire,ME109,Stuka etc,I think this is going to be a wonderful range.

Stuka?

Sign me up!

I'd like to see a desert stuka with that snake symbol going along the fuselage.
That always looks cool.

Andy has also said there will be a second Hurricane with diffferent markings.

Very good idea,some great dio possibilities there.

Brett,do you know if that'll be another Battle of Britain Hurricane?.

I was going to get the Hurricane but decided not to. I will definitely go for the German ones.

 

[The Military Workshop]

Rob,
I think that is a yes. I certainly could do with some more !
You will note K&C has recently done 2nd batches of the Landing craft and the Atlantic wall bunker which have different numbers and I think you will find this trend continuing as encourages some who are making dioramas to get a 2nd one.
Regards
Brett

My Hurricane arrived today its the first time I have ever seen a polystone plane, definetly lacking the finer detail of diecast planes [comparing apples and oranges their anyway I guess ] but I,m sure they will look sharp in peoples airfield displays. Here is a couple of shots next to corgi,s hurricane for those guys who have them.

 

[Njja]

Mine are enroute and I am looking forward to their arrival! I quietly checked

around and it looks like it is a sell out.....which is always fun! I'm looking

forward to the release of the "Hut" I think it will make a really nice display!

I have the Corgi Hurricane as well. It looks like in your pictures that there is not much difference in the size of the two even though the Corgi is 1/32. How noticable is the difference? Thanks.

 

[Canadian Samurai]

Can you take the pilot out of the cockpit?

 

[Cyber Field Marshall]

Nice comparison shots, I have a Corgi 1/32 version and from your comments and pictures it appears to hold up well to the K&C version.

 

[vandilay]

No The pilot is glued in place , so not without risk of damage.

Hi
The difference is not that big to be honest , K and C,s plane is about 2 cm longer and the wingspan is also 2 cm wider from wing tip to wing tip it also sits just a little higher and the mainbody of the plane looks a little beefier .
[but their is very little in it overall and they could easily be displayed near
each other]

The Corgi version is more detailed and would be my pick of the two by a fair margin if I where to choose.
But they are different beasts so I guess its not overly fair to compare them.

I agree the hutt will be a realy good addition , I,ve got frontlines dispersal
hutt at present that makes a nice stand in .
