Revell Hurricane IIB done

[JohnB]

RFI guys. For once a 1/32 Revell kit had good fit! I'm very pleased as the P-51's have a lot of fit problems and I was anticipating some with this build but, I'm pleased to say, there were hardly any problems. I used Xtradecals and Xtracolor paint on this build with a over spray of Alclad clear flat. I hope you like it.

Very nice Hurricane John.

Glad to hear there's finally a decent fitting 1/32 kit on the market. I've built both the PCM and Fly versions. Both were enjoyable but definitely not shake and bake kits.

Thanks Carl. The Fly kit I built was a real SOB. I said then and there no more Fly kits. LOL

John, thanks for verifying it’s a better fit than the P-51. I struggled with it. I’ll be adding this one to the build for sure now. 
Stunning build for such a short time. Looks great.

Thanks Scott. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit, etc since the '51's are such a PITA. Someone must have gotten their act together!

That looks really smart, I do like the Hurricane but only have the old Revell kit and a PCM one in my display cabinet, I will be adding this one to the collection one day.

Thank you Dennis. It's possible it is the best 1/32 Hurricane yet. Good fit and a easy build.

Fantastic build and so glad that Revell finally got their act together and produced a kit that actually fits together without needing all sorts of surgery and a doesn't have a 'cuss factor' 🏆

Thanks Peter. It's about time Revell got their "stuff" together. It was very nice to have no cuss factors on this one! LOL

Right with you 👍

Wow, superb job! An inspiration for sure!

As the days are getting longer, I can get back to mine!

I got some aftermarket for it, the Look set and the mask set, so I'm all good to go!

Thanks! Sounds like a plan Winnie. I look forward to seeing it!

Great looking Hurricane!  Did you not have issues with the leading edge of the wing root?  Every single build on YouTube complains about it.  Thinking about getting one to do this with it:

I don't recall having many issues with the leading edge wing root but, since it's been a while since I built it, it's likely I have just forgotten! I like that scheme you have picked out. Is it Portugal?

The Sea Hurricane version of this kit should be out this year,
