I have a ways had a soft spot for the Hurricane, almost equally as much as the Spitfire. I'm sure most people like one or the other, but I have the whole Battle of Britain thing going on and love a the aircraft involved. One thing I do get huffy about is cartoon appearance examples that bear little resemblance to the origins., being stretched and formed into a shocking attempt at honouring the original designer's outline. Dynam decided to mode probably the most famous Hurricane eft with WW2 history, R4118. Checking images on the Internet showed a good likeness and accurate markings. The Hurricane is not modelled as often as the Spitfire, so maybe it has not suffered as many insulting attempts at mimicking it as the poor Spitfire, which has taken a beating! Recently there have been a few Hurricane options offered and all have been a reasonable attempt at miniaturisation. This latest offering from Dynam caught my eye while researching the Meteor review, recently completed for this fine publication. It has plenty of detail and a paint finish that matches the modelled prototype quite closely. Those who enjoy weathering have a very good frank canvas to work with here, as the mode s supplied factory fresh, without the wear and dirty marks that come with use.
