Eduard 1/72 Arma Hobby Hurricane Mk.I Aftermarket
By Matt Bittner
Overview
When I looked at the Arma Hobby Hurricane Mk.I I thought it the best on the market, and I still do. Everything, though, can be enhanced with photoetch. If you picked up the Expert Set with the photoetch, there is honestly not much to add to that release. However, if you pick up just the plastic parts, as Arma Hobby releases these from time-to-time, and you want to enhance that set, then Eduard provides their photoetch pieces that will work with just the plastic parts.
The Sets
| SS654 is the Zoom set for the kit, which means detail is mainly added to the interior. You receive lots of detail items for the sidewalls; a multi-piece instrument panel, added after sanding away detail on the kit plastic; a replacement compass, added after removing the kit plastic; gunsight, enhancement pieces; replacement rudder pedals; and finally seat belts. |
|
| 73 654 contains not only the same photoetch as the Zoom above but another fret with more pieces: even more pieces for the interior; parts for the main landing gear including brake lines; pieces for the wing-underside radiator, including a replacement exhaust flap; a rear-view mirror for the windscreen; replacement pitot tube and antenna; and control linkage for the rudder trim-tab. |

Conclusion
If you have just the plastic pieces of the Arma Hobby 1/72 Hurrican Mk.I and want to superdetail that model, then Eduard has what you need.
My thanks to Eduard for supplying these review items.
