Arma Hobby Releases New Tool Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc “Expert Set”

Arma Hobby has released the expert edition of their new tool Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc model kit in 1/72 scale.

The model’s design is said to maintain the rear fuselage shape, wings and tailplane of the company’s previous Mk I kit, with the rest being “an entirely new project.” This includes a longer fuselage before the cockpit, new fishtail exhaust, a new carburetor inlet, a new (longer) tropical filter cover, two variants of cannon barrels, a modified one-piece propeller design, enhanced landing gear bays with improved assembly of the undercarriage legs, and more. It appears that two livery options will also be included.

Eventually, the offering will be available three versions, including this Expert Set (70035), Model Kit (70036) and a Trop Model Kit (70037).
