The Hurricane was the actual champion of the Battle of Britain, scoring more victories and equipping more squadrons. Not as sexy as the Spit, but just as capable and deadly.portman wrote:Not a Spitfire but...

Cool... does the RAF personnel set come with any pilots? Digging the Hurricane! Champion, indeed! What a beast... and aptly named by the RAF. A force of nature!

I think so Bruce - not seated, but running to the aircraft.speedgraflex wrote:Cool... does the RAF personnel set come with any pilots? Digging the Hurricane! Champion, indeed! What a beast... and aptly named by the RAF. A force of nature!

Thanks, Stuart. Maybe it was Revell’s set which has seated pilots...

Isn’t it Airfix sort of trademark to include sitting ”pilots” in all of their kits? Pilots In citation marks, as mostly the pilot looks like an alien or an used chewing gum...

In the actual aircraft kit - yes indeed. some of the modern ones are actually quite nice, the less said about the old ones though..KSaarni wrote::hmmspeedgraflex wrote:Thanks, Stuart. Maybe it was Revell’s set which has seated pilots...

One of my goals is to greet strangers on the street, which usually gets a funny look, but what happened to our manners? My other goal is to bring back pilot figures to model aircraft builds. What’s wrong with having a pilot inside the cockpit?
