I think if you look carefully at the images above you can see ribs on the wing. This will mean new tooling for the later metal wing Mks and new tooling again if they do a MkIIC.

 

TRF

 

And yet more for a Mk IV.

 I was one the few (get it?) who was guessing that they would eventually release a Hurricane!

You Scooby-do-ed the S—T out of that one champ!

…..and once the Hurricane is done they’ll keep with the Sidney Camm theme and do a Fury, a Hart, a Demon…..

We can dream.

Later Mk Is had a rather bulbous Rotol spinner and prop. Some have suggested it was the same spinner as that used on the Mk II Spitfire, as the diameter was slightly too large for the Hurricane nose.

True.

Lots of options with this one as there were several incarnations of the Hurricane Mk I, similar to the Spitfire, where Kotare have identified 'early', 'mid' and 'late'.

 

Not many rag-wing Hurricanes around by the time of the BoB, so lots of scope with the Battle of France, and possibly Dunkirk for this edition. Looking forward to their BoB editions! This is a golden age for 1/32 scale!

Purely coincidence - I read the obituary of Group Captain Paddy Hemingway, last of "the Few", hurricane pilot with 85 Squadron , who sadly passed away yesterday on the same day the Hurricane model was announced.

A remarkable life well lived.

Perhaps markings for his Hurricane may be an option to honour his service?

The first production Hurricane's remains (L1547) might be salvageable....as they lie at the bottom of the Mersey.

 

Kind regards,

I have found that asking our fellow LSPers tend to be more accurate than google , which I've used and found it's info wanting to put it nicely. That being said I try to come up with my own answers as much as possible  before I bug people here with my goofy questions.
