This is the new 1/32 scale set, though I believe a set in 1/24 scale is planned.

Cool!

All we need now is a decent 1/32 kit to go with the wheels

The Fly ones are not that bad, but we could use a new Mk.I...

[Chek 1,993]

Fly do a Mk I too, although perhaps perversely it only comes in Finnish and tropical boxings.

It's also a metal wing rather than a fabric one like the old PCM kit..

Phew, had me thinking I would hafta toss my 1/32 Hurri stack (Revell, PCM, and Fly) just get the wheels, and wait again...

Oops! Forgot about that! They have quite the series now; strange they don't release a BOB boxing.

Gotta disagree Ray, the Fly wheels are way too small and the tyres are way too big.

The PCM wheels are OK but in all 3 kits I have they are miscast (gaps in the wheel).

Roy says they'll be in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32. Someone asked about 1/24 and he said

"maybe later". They're cast from 3D masters so 1/24 shouldn't be far off.

I meant the Fly Hurricanes as a whole are not that bad, not the wheels. I don't think there is an injected plastic kit, and even many resin kits, out there that don't benefit from AM wheels. When a manufacturer, such as Barracuda or Halberds or CMK or Aires or AMS takes the time to do a wheel right with all the correct dimensions, markings, manufacturers logos, etc, it makes a big difference.
