ivanmoe Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Visited Scalemates looking for more information on the model: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-04968-hawker-hurricane-mk-iib--1395506 This is what modelers are greeted with in the way of a promotional image: No, it's not the browser, as I tried three (Firefox, Edge, IE). It appears that the pic caused some degree of heartburn to more than just a few LSP members. Hence, the camo-job!

Out2gtcha Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Regardless of how, who, or from what angle that particular pic was taken, it doesn't do the kit any justice. The kit looks like its going to be a real winner, but I dont think that exact pic is very flattering, even when the model is 100% right.

I believe it's the photo that's distorting things. Hurricanes as a rule don't have a lot of dihedral compared to say a P-47 or P-40. So the camera angle and lens will give the impression that the wing is flat, looking at the model from dead ahead things look good[ at least to me] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY IVAN5 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 While I certainly don't want to incur the wrath of my Brethren across the pond, this yank has always favored the hurricane over the spitfire [ cool plane especially the MK XIV]. To me the Hurri has that street brawler stance to it . I really fell for it after watching the movie , Battle Of Britain. To me it's never gotten the due it earned, even today [ the movie Dunkirk], there wasn't any Hurricanes ! from my studies it was the Hurricane that flew most of the top cover for the evacuation. true there were SOME spitfires but most of the heavy lifting was Hurricanes Derek B and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that the Airfix 1/24 scale Hurricane still looks sexy after all of these years - the Hurricane certainly has an allure about it which is very different to that of the Spitfire.

Shoggz Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This reminds me of the schoolground arguments we had in the early 90s.. "My Nintendo is better than your Sega" "No, my Sega is better than your Nintendo. I would say "I like both" The Spitfire and Hurricane were different aircraft but the Battle of Britain in particular, was won as a combination of the two and each is equally attractive and effective in my book!
