This is the first real kit by Arma of any interest to me personally and potentially on a business basis too. thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I don't think that it is still available.

I wasn't sure. I just recently received an Alleycat wing and thought there may have been something wrong with it. It looks good and will be easy to install whenever I get another Airfix kit.

Who's for a good quality Spitfire Vb and Mustang III then?? Definitely. A Spit XIV, Mustang III and Tempest V would look good together too! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I wonder if DK Decals are considering a bumper Hurricane I decal sheet. I've been looking back at Osprey's Hurricane I Aces book. So many schemes, so little time. Pete Brothers' 'Blue Peter', Widge Gleed's 'Figaro', Bird-Wilson's flying swords, McKnight's skeleton and sickle (not to mention 242's boot up Hitler's backside), the list goes on... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not long been thinking the exact same thing. DK’s No.1 Squadron decal sheet is full of Hurri’s and as previously mentioned a new Hurricane IIb and IIc from Arma would also be a big ticket item. I’m sure Franta will be working on as many Hurricane decal profiles as possible - can’t get enough of his Spitfire decals and my wallet is getting a bit lighter of late! Cheers..

MDriskill Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) On 7/28/2018 at 4:20 PM, Troy Smith said: Looks good from the CADs, the only glitch I can see is the wing tips, head on they are like very thin triangles, not curved/bulged, this a mistake Hasegawa made. from the BM walkround Otherwise, looks good. It maybe just an illusion from the CAD, and easy enough to fix if it as shown. Apologies if anyone things it's CAD slandering, I feel strongly that the Hurricane suffers from "not being a Spitfire.." and try to redress the balance. Good for Arma for doing this. I also apologize in advance for “CAD slander” of this VERY exciting new release. But the renderings do not show the distinctive flat “wishbone” area, I.e., the flat triangular spot under the rear of the cowl forming a small wing root extension. Arthur Bentley mentioned it in his long-ago “Scale Models” magazine article accompanying his Hurricane I drawings; the Airfix ragwing kit is the first to capture it well in 1/72 IMHO. This build of the Hasegawa Mk IIC by Japanese modeler Jumpei Temma, illustrates this feature very well by way of some real-aircraft photos, and shows how he re-created it on his model: http://www.geocities.jp/yoyuso/hurricane/hurricane.html Edited August 1, 2018 by MDriskill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Good afternoon Mr Bulhak 1 / Will it be possible to preorder this kit ? and what will be the price ? 2 / Please could you consider the Curtiss P 36 Hawk 75 ? because in my opinion the AZModel kit is far from being a success ...

Basuroy Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) I just hope the panel lines are scale appropriate . The one's on the 72nd scale Iskra are unacceptably wide (based on photos , those pzl.11 are no better ) and as bad as some Airfix kits . This cannot pass anymore in 2018 when limited run manufacturers like Sword and modelsvit can deliver crisp panel lines nevermind the likes of Tamiya .

Poles have been using mostly M.S. 406, and were only ones crazy enough to keep flying on Caudron CR.714 though. Also apparently Arma Hobby to not like to make multiple variants for now, and Hawk 75 had many of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Airfix 1/24 Hurricane box art depicted Gleed's AL-K with a red spinner, but this profile thinks it was black. The bottom picture appears to have been taken with orthochromatic film, which is why the red appears darker than the blue in the rounders and fin flash. The picture below shows an 87 Sqdn Hurricane with AL-K codes and a red spinner, but it's a Mk.IIc night intruder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
