Simon Cornes Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Just picked mine up and its just as good as the rest but I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of 250lb bombs! In my mind I always think of the Airfix Series 2 kit - AE-K so the lack of bombs and shackles leaves me feeling slightly short changed!! As its also the most expensive FLY Hurricane - not FLY's fault I admit - then a pair of bombs plus shackles would have been appreciated but I'm sure Quickboost will come up with something soon enough!!

Work In Progress Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) MDC, if you give them a call, apparently... or a spare set from a Tamiya Spitfire. A notice in the Wanted section on here is likely to work, given the number of 1/32 Tamiya Spitfires we've had on the forum over the years Edited November 7, 2016 by Work In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossington 2 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Just in case you have to scratch-build, this might help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks Guys - the Tamiya suggestion is very useful, thank you. Of course, the next thing is the shackles to hang them from - maybe Tamiya Spit again? Having now looked at MDC then maybe the Typhoon racks are the same as the one used on the Hurricane? No doubt the mechanicals are the same but with a different fairing? Amazing that FLY don't provide though!! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacificmustang Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Great minds Simon. That was exactly the aircraft I wanted to do from the kit, so, like you was very disappointed bombs were not included. The Tamiya Spit idea is an excellent one, and I can get Mal Mayfield to do a set of ,masks. I feel a new project coming on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and assisted by a glass of wine (any kind) it is bound go swimmingly!! I was thinking of Xtradecal for fuselage letters - 24" or 36" I assume? All things considered, pretty straight forward and we have a flying IIB over here in those 402 Squadron markings - Roy Cross has a lot to answer for!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If you need the ones included in the Tamiya Spitfire kit, let me know. I have a bunch of them I'll never use. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll PM you anyway Thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 They are only tiny thin sprues and would probably go letter post no problem, taped to a bit of thin card, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
