Airfix A05127A Hawker Hurricane Mk.1

Good product at good price but delivery was late.

The historic nature of the DH100 is well known with over 3,000 aircraft built in multiple versions. The F3 version here is an early operational model with 4 20mm cannons in the nose and the drop tanks are in three pieces. Needing 15 grams of nose weight makes a tight fit in the front and some can be added to the wing tanks to add forward weight. The pilot figure is ok but was replaced with a Tamiya RAF pilot with more detail. Now building the F5/9 version and the 1/32 model is on the way. A good item for the modeler with an interest in WWII jets and the history of jet technology.

Mieux que je l esperai pour un tres bon rapport qualite prix Chaudement recommandé

Easy to build. Instructions set out nice.

Got this kit at a good price , it was challenging and detailed enough for a beginner to practice new methods. I lost a part and had to make a wheels up version

You get an engine and 2 gun bays. You don’t get swastika for the tail. It’s a German law it can’t be displayed so for sales in Germany. No one gets them. But there is no reason why Airfix can’t make them in 2 parts like other kit makers. The kit is small. A lot smaller than i remember but it was 55yrs ago the last time I built one and that was 1/72 Cutting out the gun bays from top wing is to fiddly for my eyesight. The engine is nice and a lot easier to build. All in all a nice kit.
