Absolutely no disrespect intended to Messrs Bader, Gleed and Clowes, but wouldn't it be a nice change to get a Battle of Britain Hurricane boxing with some of the other Hurricance aces? I mean there were others... 

 

Cheers,

Absolutely. Or even some 'unknown' aircraft flown by ordinary squadron pilots - the ones (the majority) who struggled to get even one kill.

Totally agree - your USP surely would have been the new markings difficult to find or not done before?

Well yes - but consider what Hobby 2000 are doing - re-issuing decent quality kits with much improved quality decals compared to the originals at very good prices. Offering something unique in the decals would require a lot of research and research costs money. If Hobby 2000 charged accordingly, then people would then be expecting improved plastic, photo etch etc. etc.

 

I think Hobby 2000 are doing a great job - I'm buying up everything relevant to my collection as the become available.

 

Cheers

Peter Brothers' aircraft is one I'm after but I would like to build Gleed's aircraft especially as he diddn't survive the War.
