HELLER 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc - A Building Review

Heller kit no. 80269 (Built OOB)

Kit rating: 9 / 10 (I didn't like the fact that the canons are moulded on to the wings, as they can snap off during the build. Other than that the cockpit has nice detail, and the kit looks quite accuarate)

Decal rating: 8 / 10 (Slightly out of register, but only to be expected from an old Heller kit)

@angryace13 I got your PM, but the link did not work.. Never mind, maybe you can include it in a video at some point.. :0)

@BasicModelling

i will PM the pictures XD

yea... there was little difference between the MKI and MKII spitfire, its sure was a good little plane.

@angryace13 It's the new tool Airfix kit in 1/72, quite cheap but nicely detailed.. Converting a Mk.I to a Mk.IIa is probably the easiest Spitfire conversion anyone can make... :) Would love to see your pictures... :0)

@BasicModelling

what brand is it, Tamiya? Hasagawa? Arfix? Revell?

mine was a Revell, got it for cheep, around 10 bucks, usually they cost about 13 to 15 just to get them by mail, i saw i was saving 3 to 5 bucks and pounced on it, and made the Ace Of Spades MKII Spitfire, i have a few pictures but cant post them on here, i might be able to PM them too you if you want.

@angryace13 A Mk.II Spit?? Excellent.. I will convert one of my Airfix (new tool) Mk.Ia's into a Mk.II, as I found some old (but hopefully usable) decals for such a Spitfire.. :) I hope at some point to build a Mk.IIb as well..

@BasicModelling

awesome XD, i built a MKII not too long ago.

@PurpleOrchid92 Yes.. and also the fact that I haven't got the skill yet to make a weathered plane look good.. so rather than ruin it, I keep it 'factory fresh'.. :)

@BasicModelling is that just due to personal taste, like wanting your aircraft to be "clean"?
