Airfix 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk1 Build Review

In this weeks video I am going to be building the airfix 1 72nd scale Hawker hurricane Mk1
The Hawker Hurricane was the work horse of the RAF during the battle of Britain, Made before the spitfire the Hurricane out numbered the spitfire nearly two to one. Even though out matched by the spitfire the Hurricane was still a cutting edge fighter plane and excelled at its main role, of shooting down bombers attacking Britain during the Blitz. Later in the war the Hurricane was converted to a ground attack plane. A role in which it excelled at until replaced by more modern planes later in the war
This is a simple Airfix kit but it has a few issues that a new modeler should watch out for, the undercarriage is quite thin and delicate and will take time to remove from the spurs. Other than that though the model goes together will with a bit of light sanding to remove the join lines.
Anyway as always thank you for watching and I hope that if you are planning on building this model that my build and review gives you a good idea of what to expect from the kit
Until next time look after yourself and have a good one

My first control line aircraft was an 049 powered plastic Hurricane 😊

[@scalestuff1066]

Nice ah you never see any control line planes anymore

@@scalestuff1066 the club I was in as a teenager is still running, I checked their website, and they still do control line and free flight (and indoor flying). I really should pay them a visit. I see some of the guys I knew are still alive 😆

[@scalestuff1066]

Wow mad they are still going we had a control line club at my park and by the time I was ten it was just one guy up there,be interesting if some of the old lot where still at it,be mad to see how there planes have changed and evolved

Is there a way to fit the propeller to spin for this model?

[@scalestuff1066]

Yeah you can get it to spin, there is a pin that goes through the hub into the prop but is hard to not get glue onto the pin, it is a tight fit though so might help if you sand the spinner cap or better the hub down a bit
