Corgi 1:32 Hawker Sea Hurricane

Well i got my 1:32 Sea Hurricane today from FM and i must say i'm very happy with it.
I thought it be like the other 1:32 Hurricane's that Corgi made and it's not they really did a outstanding job on this one.
I have only seen 3 different Hurricanes in 1:32 scale and this Sea Hurri is way better then the Park Hurricane.
Check out the pics.

Re: Corgi 1:32 Hawker Sea Hurricane

Nice photos. I've been constantly tempted by this one, being a Sea Hurricane and all, but it would end up being the long 1/32 in my collection. I keep hoping to see one from Corgi in 1/72.

Or a Hurricat- that would be cool!

Re: Corgi 1:32 Hawker Sea Hurricane

I got mine last week and couldn't be more pleased.

What's really weird is to see the size difference between it and the Bader Spitfire I have next to it. The Hurricane looks like a huge beast next to the Spit's trim lines.

Re: Corgi 1:32 Hawker Sea Hurricane

Re: Corgi 1:32 Hawker Sea Hurricane

The Bader is fine. The Sea Hurri is gorgeous. The best thing is having both... and a 1:32 Spit, and a 1:32 Bf109 (Hartmann or Barkhorn, or BOTH!)

But the Sea Hurri is probably the pick of the Hurri litter... at least in my humble view.

Cheers, pieceOfCake

Re: Corgi 1:32 Hawker Sea Hurricane

Sea Hurri is definitely the pick of the bunch IMHO. Pilot looks a bit of a muppet though.

I would echo your sentiments PieceOfCake .

I received both the Bader and Sea Hurricanes yesterday (together with the Ehrle Bf109) and was impressed with both of them .

Although they've been much maligned by some critics and have some minor issues (e.g. shape of nose), they are nevertheless great pieces of (heavy) die-cast that appear to have been subject to a high level of QC in the manufacturing process .

Personally, I like 'em, like them a lot ...
