The Hurri's look the biz. Especially the one with the cannons.

Yep BoB one to go with me Spits but they look wierd... nose to short... photographic angles..?

minter

18th April 2005, 08:36

yes noticed that does look funny,nose cone on Nichs one looks too short or stubby?

scrounger

18th April 2005, 11:13

gonna be the Malta Hurricane for me. but i do agree the nose looks kinda stumpy.

but would be happy with either.

That Nicholson Hurricane is gonna' look good with my Spitfire.

Nice to see the Hurricane in 1/32 I'll probably pick one up to go with my Spitfire if the price drops far enough but I'm not really bothered which one.

minter

18th April 2005, 14:57

no ones mentioned the 109 yet,so here goes.....doesnt look as good as the last couple but i know its only prob a pre pro

no4mkit

18th April 2005, 16:44

WOW! So Corgi CAN put cannon on a Hurricane! :rolleyes: Why not on the 1/72 model then?? :confused:

Martin Bull

18th April 2005, 21:18

We must assume ( and hope ! :( )the 109 has a typical pre-pro paint-job - it doesn't look right at all in the pic.....

CFBC

18th April 2005, 21:24

Have to agree with you M/B.. Ive been cutting, cropping and playing with all the piccies today (ready for putting on the website) and had a play with the ME one in PSP and it just don't look right... Not like the other ME's out... I hope it's just the pre-pro thats poor...

Like the Hurricane, will have to have a B of B one to go with my Spitfire, but not sure about these two. Certainly welcome the tooling though!

A nice white russian hurri would make a nice change. I really am looking forward to seeing one though, even the hurricane looks a little out in the pictures to me. Hope it isnt as the B of B one will look excellent with the Spitfire.

I see that the Americans have got their "special releases" again.

Search under "corgi nose art" on the FM site.

Defo need a 1:32 Hurri to compliment my 1:32 Spit. Do I go for the one of the new releases or hope theres a 'battle-scarred' one in the pipeline?
Thought Corgi done a sterling job on the Brian Lane 1:32 Spit.

Just read that the Me109 is to be limited to a run of 920.

Surprise.... shame.. I think its more a case of avaiilable shelf space... :D

The Defiant Man

24th April 2005, 15:48

Agreed....wouldn't be surprised if the Hurri is the last 1/32 casting.....

Flying Mule site has another 1/32 Hurricane

CFBC

25th April 2005, 19:49

Yeah, I have seen it on the Flying Mule and got the details, but what does concern me is we ain't got this half "US" releases as yet?????

Now, it cannot be the planes themselves as they have already tooled-up for them, wonder if it's the fugures? Who knows?? :rolleyes:

G-force

26th April 2005, 19:51

Agreed....wouldn't be surprised if the Hurri is the last 1/32 casting.....

I really hope this is not the case. I would love to see a jet in this scale. I've typed it before but what about a Hunter?

Have just received the 1/32 PR Mossie. I was quite unprepared for the size of the box or the model, despite the plethora of posts on this forum regarding exactly that.

Let me be succinct: HUGE! :eek:

I am now in lengthy discussions with Mrs. BTY regarding the use of her parking stall in the garage for this largish aeroplane. It really looks much nicer parked indoors. (The model, that is. :D )

Hello all
The 2 MK1 Hurricanes are on my to get list. However, the AVM Keith Park one is not. I love the MK2 with the big cannons, but why the AVM's run about :( ?

I would be a lot happier if it was a Grey and Green one. Well I supose I would like it to be any color apart from the earth and green. I want a mk2 that stands out immediatly as different from a mk1 and one that was flown in operational action.

Regards
David

i suppose there is a good chance we might get a desert hurri, you know a brown jobbie ?

Hope that they correct the pilots headgear colour on the AVM Keith Park's machine. He always wore a white one.
