Hey there, my fellow model builders! Today, I want to tell you about my latest building adventure with the Arma Hobby 1/72 Scale Hurricane Mk II B/C Expert Set - Plastic Model Building Kit # 70042. As someone who has experienced being laid off in the past, I've found that building models is an excellent way to relieve stress and get my mind off things.
First off, I have to say that the level of detail on this kit is insane! The cockpit is highly-detailed and the canopy can be posed open or closed, depending on your preference. The kit also comes with photo-etched parts, which adds even more realism to the end result. The instructions were very clear and concise, which made assembly a breeze.
Not to mention, I really enjoyed the challenge of building a historically-accurate model. The Hurricane Mk II B/C was a British fighter aircraft that played an important role in World War II, and it's so cool to have a replica of it on my shelf.
In terms of who this kit would be a good fit for, I'd say that it's perfect for intermediate to advanced model builders who are looking for a challenge. It's definitely not a beginner-friendly kit, but if you're up for the challenge, it's totally worth it.
Of course, like any product, there are pros and cons. Here's my list:
Pros:
- Insane level of detail
- Clear and concise instructions
- Comes with photo-etched parts
- Historically-accurate
Cons:
- A bit pricey
- Only one decal option
Overall, I had a blast building this kit and I'm beyond happy with how it turned out. If you're an experienced model builder who's looking for a challenge, I highly recommend the Arma Hobby 1/72 Scale Hurricane Mk II B/C Expert Set. It's definitely not for everyone, but if it's for you, it's totally worth the investment.
Bottom line: I give this kit an 8.5 out of 10!
