I need some help from some Hurricane guys. P2569 I know it is a Mk.1, but any way to tell if it is a rag wing or tin wing? |

The position of the landing light in peebeep's picture indicates a metal wing Hurricane |

As the man said, but P serials were all metal wings, as I understand it . |

It's a good day to build.

I know very little about the differences between Hurricanes. I am starting to realize that I know far less than I realized. |

Jeff Time spent modeling is not deducted from your lifespan. I spent most of my money on beer and women. The rest of it I just wasted. | |

You're not alone. If it is any consolation, there's no such thing as a simple aeroplane, and the Hurricane is no worse than most others - at least those built in equivalent numbers. But there is perhaps more variation in the Mk.I than in later marks. |

Precisely my reaction. The other indicia are correct as well. |

There is only one important question that needs to be asked with regard to the Hurricane. Will Airfix finally give us a metal wing 1/72 kit in 2017? I predict riots if they don't. |

I don't see that they will, soon. Certainly not in 2017. They have a Mk I and a Mk IIc in their catalog, both modern toolings (ignoring quality of the Mk II). Most customers won't know difference, just a Hurricane. Some will know guns vs cannon, that's good enough. A few, like us here, will know rag vs tin wing, 8 vs 12 guns, cannons vs bombs vs rockets and insist on a modern tooling for each. Plus the FAA variants. If their base are the ones who want a Hurricane, why make more than a couple of variants? Their catalog covers early to late war, if a stretch. I absolutely would like to be wrong... |

I'd like to see it, but with the backlog of excellent kits from them sitting on my shelf, I can wait a bit. I've still got a rag-wing to build (the Belgian option) if the mood strikes me. I can even do the Revell IIc, which is imperfect but acceptable. sooner or later they'll put it out, and we'll all promptly forget the delays. |

Me too, which is why I asked. I have the photo above and I thought tin wing, but it pays to ask. |

I think that only works if you build and paint it |

Come on David, get building and painting! :lol: TBH am not in any real rush either. IIRC I have 6 Airfix rag wings and 2 AZ (?) kits Not forgetting at least half dozen Revell kits in one variant or another I too need to get building and painting :rolleyes: I think it is because I gave away my old Airfix MkIs in expectation of the new tooling so their is a Hurricane shaped hole in the stash that needs filling. The distribution of dust gathered just doesn't look right without them! :lol: |
