Hawker Hurricane

Hobby Master “Hawks” their Hurricane

We did a wee bit of surfing on the Internet and managed to unearth a couple of photos of Hobby Master’s upcoming Hawker Hurricanes. Produced in 1:48 scale, their first pair of Mk. I Hurris include one flown by Sgt. J. Frantisek of 303 (Polish) Squadron, which was deployed at RAF Northolt, England, during September 1940 (HA8601). The second mount was piloted by Flying Officer W. L. McKnight, who was attached to 242 (Canadian) Squadron, then deployed to RAF Coltishall, England, during December 1940 (HA8602). Look for both warbirds some time in June.

Hobby Master Relives the Battle of Britain

Hobby Master is continuing to announce new tooling for early 2015, beefing up its aerial armada with a pair of 1:48 scale Hawker Hurricane Mk. I fighters that saw action in the waning days of 1940 (HA8601 and HA8602).

A number of 1:72 scale jets were also added to the March order of battle, including an all-new A-10 Thunderbolt (HA1321), F-106 Delta Dart (HA3607), F-4 Phantom II (HA1944), F-16 Fighting Falcon (HA3828), and CF-18 Hornet (HA3522).

We have added all of the new introductions to our web site and they are now available for pre-order.
