Arma 1/72 Hurricane Mk.1 Tropical

Couldn’t wait to get stuck into this one, so let’s go.

Main parts are on one large sprue, a second smaller sprue and transparencies.

Detail throughout is nice and sharp.







Marking options for three aircraft: 2 RAAF and 1 RAF based in Malta in late 1940. This is the option I’ll be doing.



A very simple but well detailed little kit. So lets get going.

Everything starts with building the main wheel wells. Did need a bit of trimming at the join (tongue and groove joint) to get them to fit together.

While that was setting, started on the cockpit. I did find the sprue gates on the frame parts a little thick and a razor saw was needed to cut them out. Felt a sprue cutter would risk breaking them. Even then I managed to break one!

The mounting holes for these needed opening up a little on the fuselage halves.

Rudder pedals and control stick went together easy. Stick needed a little trim at the bottom to fit in in it’s slot.

And a little bit of aluminium and RAF interior green paint brings today’s work to a close.

So far so good.

Thanks for looking.
