I am wondering who makes the best depiction of the Hurricane in 48th scale. My main choice would be Hasegawa, but if someone can recommend another that would be great. Thanks for any advice!

:-H Pugilist,
The Airfix 1/48 Hurricane is accurate but the best on the market is deffinately the Hasegawa offering. In reviews it has been said that the depiction of the fabric on the rear fuselage is to accentuated. The Hasegawa Hurri has a very nice cockpit and surface detailing. :-)

That Hurri you built is a beauty Holdfast, hope mine comes out that good. I went with the Hasegawa Mk.I depicting Bader's plane during the BoB. So far looks like a great kit. Thanks for the help again folks!

Hi Pugilist,
My next Hurri will also be Baders BoB Mk 1. Have you started it yet? :-)
