Hawker Hurricane Mk I and Mk IIc 1/72 Arma Hobby

[David Koktavý 114]

Hello all,

let me present a recent builds of Arma Hobby´s Hurricanes. The first one is a Hurricane in Portugal colours and it was really a pleasant OOB build. The second one is a most successful Hurricane of 310 Czechoslovak squadron during the BoB with 6 kills claimed by several pilots. The kit is also a part of small group build with my friends dedicated to Bob adversary. I hope you like it. If you are interested in a bit more details and photos, I would appreciate your visit there on my blog http://72insight.com/en/hawker-hurricane-mk-i-and-mk-iic-1-72-arma-hobby/

Here on the blog you can also find another BoB Hurricane build by my friend Vladimir Kafka.

Very nice indeed, David. I especially like the Portuguese scheme. Never seen it before.

Superb pair of hurricanes, so well painted and finished, good job!

These are very nice Hurricanes. Perfect build and finish. As Vinnie pointed out, the Portuguese one is indeed a rare sight:

Excellent builds and the Portuguese one makes a change.

 

The photoetched frames are new to me.

Nice to see these.  Glad I am not the only one who had problems with the Arma Mk.1 kit!    Also good to know the Mk.11C kit is better. Will reconsider building the one I have.  Incidentally, for those who were unaware, a number of retired Portuguese Hurricanes flew back to the UK for filming. They appeared in Angels One Five.

Very nice indeed.

[Vulcanicity 2,223]

Very smart Hurris, I really should get the IIc and build that Mk. I in my stash...

Well, despite some imperfections I still consider the Mk I kit on the top and better than many others kits and brands.
