Productions ¶¶¶¶¶ Reviewed by Warbirds Productions has just released a number of 1/32nd resin items. In this, the first review of many, we will examine their new wing mounted auxiliary tanks as fitted on the Hawker Hurricane.
These new tanks will be a good addition to the Revell Hurricane. While this kit is dated, it is accurate in outline and these new products from Warbirds UK and Warbirds US are long overdue. For those modelers that have been waiting to build the Revell Hurricane, it may finally be time! Review Sample Compliments of Warbirds US © Mark Proulx 2003 |
This
is a very simple item to add to the Revell model. It consists of two
resin fuel tanks and no instructions. The quality of the casting is
very good. Closer inspection reveals no pinholes and some very subtle
raised surface detail. I compared the cast items to photos in the
book Hawker Hurricane Classic Aircraft No 4. These are the 44 gallon
capacity tanks as fitted to Hurricane variants that required increased
range. The cast items appear to accurately capture the outlines shown
in the book. As no instructions are included, references will be required
to identify the proper location to mount these tanks.
