Hi all, just wondering your personal preferences for the best 1/72 Hawker Hurricane model. Pros and cons please? I plan on modelling an Australian piloted RAF hurricane.

Thanks in advance.

I read that Airfix is the new king in 1/72, though, I feel the Revell Germany offering is quite acceptable in this scale.

No advice of kits sorry Nick.

But which Aussie RAF pilot are you interested in?

I agree with Ben, the Airfix Mk I is nice and crisp also the parts fit well (at least on my kit)

I think the Airfix kit is a Mk. I, and the Revell kit is a Mk II.

Hi Bob thanks for your reply. I've just ordered the Mk I. Can't get over how cheap the airfix kits are.
