AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 now all of a sudden... i may get a Hurricane as part of the Vigentte GB, if so I believe I can build it in another GB (like this one) and use it in the vignette one later - anyone on here mind? That is perfectly acceptable Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 That is perfectly acceptable Rob cheers Mish, mow just need a 1/72 Hurrican small enough for 6"x6" base ;-) think the Airfix mk 1 fits the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prenton Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Can you take one more? Would the "last of the many" racing Hurricane from 1948/49 be acceptable - not the 1/148th Hasegawa one, but a 1/72nd kit with aftermarket decals..

easyAl Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think I'll have to join this if I may. I've just got the Airfix 1/24 (Debenhams were selling them at £30. Alas they appear to be out of stock now). I was going to wait until after doing my Stuka of the same scale before starting on the Hurri. But group builds are a good excuse to crack out kits so I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 May you add my name to the list? I should be OK as there is no engine to detail!!! All I have available in the stash is a 1/72 Mk IIc from Revell (not much, but...) and I want it built! Thanks JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackem01 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 New tool Hurri is out of stock at Airfix Command so do I go to Fleabay/Amazon or do my old Mk1 then stock up on new ones...............decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yipes! I hope that's temporary, they can't have gone out of production already! That's a great kit, I hope Airfix doesn't start a "one prod. run and out" policy.

mackem01 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I don't think so Michael, the website says it'll inform you when they have stock. I was so gutted I ordered a Merlin, a Spit XII, and a tin of matt white to console myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it shouldn't be a problem if the original boxing is now OOP. Airfix will be releasing a Desert Air Force boxing in the new year. The parts will be identical to the original boxing, as you can already build a DAF Hurricane from the original box. I'm going to prove it in this GB.

mackem01 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The problem to hand though is I have a Mk1, I have narrowed my subject down to four machines and two of those are unfortunately IIc's. Time to hit the books and look up the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to hit the books and look up the differences. Ah. Rather a lot, I'm afraid. Longer nose, different spinner and prop and cannon rather than m.g. armament with consequently different gun bay doors and ejection chutes. Might want to stick to a Mk.I or try to get a Hasegawa IIc.

mackem01 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 OK then, as I'm not prepared to pay Hasegawa's prices I have rethunked. and the choice is now down to two. I shall finalise my decision when there's a Hurri, nearly finished, on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stosh65 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 After rummaging the stash I have come to the shocking revelation that at present I do not possess a single hurricane kit! To the Internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Next day delivery!!!!!!! you've got to open the box, decide on aftermarket and markings see if you have the right shade of faded raf dark green. And get some reference books all before April. And at some point decide it's unbuildable and buy another. Lol even my wife's panicking for you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 was going to enter at least a 3 of hurris in this, not so sure now, decided I just had to build something prob driven as done nothing but jets recently, and the only real option in my LHS was a revell hurricane, so thats now being done as part of the made in Britain. Will try and at least get one revell in as a night fighter, nice easy build there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Hi! Is there a list of rules for this group build or is that what the title is for? (a Hurricane and no other restrictions...) Also, since this is the Hurricane STGB I thought to ask: does anyone know a store that sells a 1/72 Hasegawa Mk.I late (the one with the metal wings) for a reasonable price? I saw their Finnish air force kit on amazon, but it amounts to 40 pounds when the transport is added and since it comes from Japan I suppose I should also expect VAT and import fees so, I`m just guessing, another 10 pounds. It`s ... more than I would like to pay for it. EDIT: added the scale. Edited January 2, 2016 by Fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about the Hasegawa kit but Hannants have the Airfix 1/48 kit which is the metal wing version and, in my opinion, is a better kit than the Hasegawa one. And at 14.16 pounds it's hard to beat the price! Michael Edited January 2, 2016 by MichaelSatin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on iid what scale? EDIT: just looked not for me an az 1/72 for 17.00 looks like my 1/48 iic hasegawa kit seems like a shrewd investment seeings as it was given to me just looked at the price Ouch!!!!!

I think Hasegawa is the only one that has it for this scale, but whenever I spot one I only see steep prices. Btw, I currently have Airfix`s 1/72 Hurricane with fabric wings and intend to build that in Romanian colours. It looks like a very nice kit and can`t wait to start building it.
