Hi all.
Im going to be building a MKIIB Hurricane for "Fighters Under The Midnight Sun".
I know Airfix do a MkIIB and Revell also( 1/72),although the Revell one is a lot harder to get hold of in the UK.
Which is the more accurate kit and which one would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

I'd go for the Revell kit, if you can find it, it's newer but not without its faults. If the Airfix kit is the one I'm thinking of, it's pretty old and tries to cover several different marks i.e. Mk1, MkIIB, MkIID and MkIV and so is not really accurate for any of them.

Hi Nigel.
Academy has a very nice Hurricane in 1/72 scale but is a Mk IIc. I have one unbuild yet and it looks really good. The 1/72 Academy kits that I built has a very good fit and fine detail.
