Re: White Hurricane - Target USA

I agree Canucklehead. I find FOV's castings are very well done and quite accurate, it's the finish that lets them down. I'm very impressed with the detail they put into the landing gear, which on the Hurricane for example far outdoes Corgi's landing gear.
This isn't a complaint, because I think you get a lot of model for $10 and I do buy some of them, more it's a hope that FOV can address the finish and become a serious contendor in the collector market. Now before anyone makes the point that these are not intended for the serious collector, remember they do have a collector line sold at hobby shops at the $15 price point, but they're just the same models repackaged with even more weathering!
