Eduard 1/48 Airfix Hurricane Mk.I Photo Etch
By Jacob Russell
This photo etch set is for Airfix's recent Hawker Hurricane Mk. I kit. It consist of 53 parts on 2 frets, one of which is pre-painted plus a sheet of acetate gunsight faces. The pre-painted fret includes an instrument panel, seat, compass face and holder, map case, rudder pedals, etc.
The 2nd fret has numerous upgrades such as supercharger intake screen and radiator faces, landing gear locks, rudder actuator, gun bay covers, canopy handles, etc.
Airfix's series of new Hurricanes have been warmly received. They are accurate and well detailed. Eduard steps in to provide this PE set which greatly enhances the existing level of detail and takes things up a notch. I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
