I hope someone can answer this question (and excuse me for being such an utter Hurrinoob): but if I'd wanted to build LF363 in BBMF service in the 1980s - would a standard MkIIc as in the Arma kit suffice? Thanks, Jay Yes,... the basic airframe is still Mk.IIc,......... for the 80`s you`ll need 6 stub exhausts and to cut the cannons off,...... check whether it had the bulged panels over the gun bays too,...... all pretty easy to sort out.

Aesthete Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just in case someone from Arma Hobby is reading this: any chance for Sea Hurricane Mk. IIc and/or PR Mk. II in the future? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenshirt Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Sigh. I thought I had all the Hurricanes I’d need with their tin wing release. Now I must reassess my prior investments in Hasegawa and AZ. as for a Sea Hurricane...I’ll gladly throw money at Arma if they release those.

cvrle Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Oh happy day! Postage from Poland tends to be expensive, so more kits to break it up is always welcome D (That's my story and I'm sticking to it). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre B Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Oh dear, what would I do with my old Matchbox Hurricane now? Seems Arma Hobby did a fantastiskt job again! Can we beg for an P-51B/C now? Cheers / André Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Yowzah! Saw this the other day and couldn't believe my eyes! Also couldn't believe I didn't see it first there on BM! I don't know about you guys and gals, but I can't wait to get my hands on at least three of these puppies when they are released! (My dream of doing one of the two Mk V's is finally coming true!) Fingers crossed that they also come with external tanks!

John Thompson Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately it seems not to have got its own thread - all the Arma Hurricane discussion regardless of mark is here, with first mention of the Mk II on page 16, approximately. I can relate to all the jubilation; I felt similarly light-headed when Arma's Yak-1B appeared. I had to be institutionalized for a week after I actually received the product: Perhaps a moderator will be along to sort things out...

I had almost the same lightheaded feeling when I opened mine- been waiting a long time for a decent kit of my favorite WW2 Yak fighter! Maybe in the future, Arma will grace us with a state of the art Yak-9 and Lagg-3 as well! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeh.. any post-WW2 restoration subject is bound to be fraught with temporal changes. That said, I was actually searching for a 1/72 Mk.II in order to do G-AMAU pre-racing specs (Lifelike decal set) so this release comes as a nice surprise.

Mike That would be good; might as well throw in I-16 types 5, 10, and 17, and a MiG-3 that's not a snap-together. While the latest kits from Brengun and Arma Hobby are very welcome, the kit industry still has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to GPW VVS fighters. But good on Arma for their efforts on the Hurricane - watch yourselves, Eduard and Tamiya!!! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Source: https://www.facebook.com/ArmaHobby/posts/2776020342428305 Quote Hurricane Mk IIc from Arma Hobby is on test shots now! Hopefully we would start dispatching preorders within two weeks… or less.

Some parts are not yet well cast and bubble fairings for cannon loading drums are missing on the wings. They will be added in following days and model release will be delayed a few days." 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
