New Kotare Hurricane I announced

[Archimedes]

Fantastic news!

 

Utterly thrilled with this announcement! 
 

kind regards,

Best news of the year!

 

I am totally thrilled that not only will we have the Kotare Spitfire Mk1 and now the Hurricane to go with it but also Airscale’s Defiant. Things are looking very rosy for those of us who like to build Battle of Britain subjects. 
 

An injection molded early Mk1 Hurricane to this standard is absolutely fantastic news: I hope they sell pallet loads of them. 
 

Kind regards, 

Paul

Agreed Paul, but also the oft-overlooked Battle of France, when the Defiant had “its finest hour”.

Hmmph….  Had a pipedream they would have done a Wildcat or F6F.  Zero interest in the Hurricane but I know a lot of folks feel otherwise, so I’m happy for them.

I hope your pipe dream is not a pipe dream.  While I wanted and expected a Hurricane from Kotare, in light of the 109k we are getting the Hurricane earlier than I expected.  However I would hope also the Wildcat and hellcat are on their to do list also.  Based upon their recent interview, I believe they intend to speed things up a little on their releases.  It will be gradual though as the have to go slow on adding staff to design the kits so they don't go broke trying to do too much too fast.

Great news, definitely standing in line for one of these. The last one I built was the Revell 1/32 kit in about 1974.

Kotare- a twin engined adversary next.....

Dogfight double…. (Yes that IS a spoof boxing)

Impressive, brings back good memories.

With their Spitfires I was happy with just 2 variants, but if they do a similar thing with the Hurricane variants I shall be getting one for evey variant

[Stevepd]

Do you think it will come with a Pilot?

[scvrobeson]

This will be well received, and I'm sure another dynamite kit

And as a HUGE Hurricane fan, I’m replying to this thread…..what fantastically fabulous news….just WOW! 

 

 

I agree, huge news, and I’m excited, though I’m now in a conundrum, just yesterday I was mulling over the idea on how to strip and overhaul my old Revell classic.  The decals withered and flaked off, I think I’ll paint it in another pilots scheme and do the Kotare in Nicolsons VC bird. So, the wait now eagerly begins …

My Revell one is a paint mule, that’s all it’s worth in my opinion.

Well, I'm fully understanding their decision even if I'm not really thrilled because I have more or less ten 1/32 Hurricanes in my stash (old Revell, new Revell, PCM and Fly). Nonetheless, I will get at least one or two kits to support them. I hope this should help them to release something a little bit less 'mainstream'...
