I did the build but lacked the courage to do the painting. I did a W.I.P. in 2016 when the kit was released. I thought all the photos were lost in the Photobucket fiasco but I just checked. They’re all back. You can find it HERE. Edited September 23, 2022 by quang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the scheme on a sheet of masks made by Montex. I couldn't verify its accuracy but liked the scheme so I did it anyways.

Tony T Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I like building jets. Props I just assemble. Why all the dread about end-opening boxes? If you're going to build it just put the parts in a lidded plastic crate. No cardboard dust, no hassle. I'm more interested in the kit. I don't need pretty packaging and would happily buy it in a plain brown box. Ditto about the gut feeling re: Fly offering. Hearing that Radu designed the Revell sold me on it in advance.

They require a bit more work than a kit from a major manufacturer but you can build a really nice Hurricane out of it. Just take a look in the Ready For Inspection section of the forum. The Revell kit would need to be quite good before I would chose it over the FLY kit to be honest. They are priced almost the same I can see /Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fly kit has pretty similar engineering, but with better detailed plastic. Don't be so quick to dismiss these kits - they are very good, but not necessarily to everyone's taste. The Revell will be an easier project certainly, but whether it's better is to be seen. MikeMaben, Rick Griewski and Stevepd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 End opening box or not, I’ve put Revell’s new tool Hurricane on back-order at Hannants. If Radu is associated with it I know it’s going to be good enough for me. Fanes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
