Tomorrow we are starting delivery of Hurricane Mk IIc Expert Set plastic kits. It is an excellent time to review the model project. Let\u2019s see how our new plastic bird was born and what improvements compared to Mk I, we made.<\/p>\n

Plastic parts<\/h2>\n

Hurricane Mk IIc design based on the previous Mk I kits with some experience from the latest Yak-1b kit project. The new version differs from the previous one in the engine section, wings and armament and some other details. First improved was the cockpit. It was designed with a smaller number of parts but similar to Mk I kit level of details. Also, the undercarriage bay was improved in two ways. First, rivets were added to its roof. In the previous kit, it was rendered with a photoetched part in Expert Set only. Also, wheel legs were modified to allow their easy assembly after painting the whole kit. The radiator is moulded in two parts to reduce sinkholes. Propeller blades are moulded as one piece to make assembly easier. In Mk I, we had to mould blades separately because of the variety of variants used on the real aeroplane.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
