Anders_Isaksson Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Seeing the various in-box reviews has made me go from Meh to Yay regarding Revell's new Hurricane. But can you already now build a Mk IIc from the basic plastic in this release? I can see the proper Hispano barrels are there but the corresponding wing leading edge inserts for the guns still seem to be missing on the sprues. Otherwise I will hold out for the dedicated Mk IIc release that we all know will come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I received my kit today, was a little disappointed when I realised that one side of the rudder and both flaps were short shot. I have not looked at every post but have not noticed people complaining, but best check your kits. I have sent pictures to Revell so will see how quickly they respond and send replacements.

Well that's a little disconcerting. I'm still waiting for the 3 that I preordered . Starting to put my teeth on edge Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Revell usually is on top of things like this, hope it works that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark, I'm no expert but I think there is, well at least the bigger filter is included and the error of including the tropical fuselarge vents for the non-tropical and early aircraft plays in your favour. neil Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMN! Montex did the same scheme I have chosen for my Hurricane To answer @Mark M question, yes you have everything you need to make the tropical version with the Revell kit. Scissor on tail wheel strut needs to be removed and modified to ‘straight’. HTH Cheers, Quang Out2gtcha and Mark M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first of my two pre-ordered kits arrived over the weekend, no such issues found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npb748r Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 for those building the night fighter scheme there are no stencils provided in the kit. I bought a set of H-Model Decals for hurricane night fighters from Hannants. These are well worth the money I think, you get enough for 3 aircraft, 2 nighter fighters in red and 1 day scheme in black. Having used them tonight they make a real difference to the all black scheme and work perfectly well. Kagemusha, dutik and coogrfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked the asymmetrical ordnance on a plane but I’ll keep it for a second Hurri. For this one, it’s too late. I’d keep on with my first choice.

Bob MDC Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The rockets were fitted to the later Mk RAF Hurricanes, On the Mk II's I think only the Navy and Coastal Command had first dibs on rockets for the anti-shipping work so the Sea Hurricane would ok with rockets, and as Revell has kindly included the parts for Sea Hurricane. So as I received my Hurricane today (very nice and ok) and nearly finishing updating the MDC rockets It looks good for a spot of building Bob Kagemusha and thierry laurent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I should have figured this. After all, the wing armament setup is different between the two versions. Guess I will wait for the dedicated Mk IIc then.
