New Revell 1/32 Hawker Hurricane?

[cbk57]

I saw a posting just now on Hobby Search site showing a all new Hurricane Mk IIB, the site shows this as a new tool kit.  It is not on scalemates yet from what I can see.  Hopefully this is right and we have a high quality all new Hurricane inbound.

Yes, I believe Radu designed it, so it's likely to be excellent. Mine's already on backorder

Was announced around a year ago, but there's been no news since.

I think I am more excited about this kit than anything else announced over the past few years.

AFAIK we’re already 09-2022

The strange thing is the lack of box art. Typically, when a kit is close to release, this had already been shown weeks if not months before ..

[quang]

Never mind the box-art. I’d buy the sprues in a brown envelope

I'd like to see the sprues first ...

In any case it cannot be as painful as my FLY build was. Or can it ?

[Flipper]

I hope for a Mk.IIC. I do not feel confident enough to build that one from Fly.

I've got three of these in the stash, one of which I started what seems like a lifetime ago. I normally fly through short run kits but for some reason I find their hurricanes hard work - it's the fiddly cockpit and that bloody great chunk of resin undercarriage bay - it just seems to all make me feel bored. Surely the revell kit wont be on a par with the fly kit ???!!! 

[quang]

I got past the cockpit and the wheel wells but it’s the general quality of the mouldings which which killed my mojo.

Me too and you can be sure they will be in the delightful end opening boxes which really eases getting the plastic in and out of the box Revell like to use.

Well at least it will be priced well enough for us less well off modellers that cannot afford the Tamigawazokinuts kits everyone seem to think we should all be buying just because....

 

Not everyone is as flush as others on here.

 

I for one am looking forward to the kit.
