Garbo Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Spotted this a bit late as they are out of stock but I am sure more will be available. Less than £60 including retracts, (makes my recent Spitfire seem expensive) Hawker Hurricane Mk IIB WARNING the music on the video is dreadfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Gee Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Can we be sure no trees were damaged in the making of this video!!!!!!!!! Alwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bastow Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 think i will have to order one of these, always liked the hurricane. was going to get the new e flight one but its nearly 4 times the price. whats wrong with the music on the video by the way? its from the film battle of britain so quite appropriate i think.

Garbo Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Didn't know where the music came from, still not my cup of darjeeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sharp Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The music, it's from the film Battle of Britain, where the Germans are reviewing their fleet of aircraft.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Barwick Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Love the plane but using the luftwaffe march as the music (yes i know its now known as aces high) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Just noticed this one too. $91 PNP really good value; is this the next big thing after the Vampire. Got one on backorder now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If Hobbyking produced a Hurricane, the same size as the the big P-40 they have been re-advertising,then I would be interested. The only good foamy of the Hurricane is the rather expensive E-flight one, although I have not seen any issues with the electronics, unlike a few of the Hobbyking BlitzRC models including the above mentioned P-40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 No I am not saying the HK one is bad--- how can I ? it's just come on the market . I do a lot of research online on different forums to try and sort out the wheat from the chaff before I buy a model so it is not conjecture about the E-Flight offering So from now on I shall only comment on my experience with my own models ,or better still just keep silent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 my experience has tought me that all durafly models fly well, so this is on my list and i've just had an e-mail from HK saying they are back in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Allan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I don't think is a durafly model but made by art-tech . There have been quite a few reviews of there products in the mag , going on that it should be a good product. **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Just looked through their website. looks ok, although decals look a bit random and unsuitable in places, but for the price for a PNP its good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Another British plane that won't be in the UK warehouse anytime soon. Go on HK, prove me wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Nice model professional flown ,But Luftwaffe music ? But all digs put aside loved the model . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propogandhi Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yes we used a little creative licence there. What film is the music from....what plane took part in the Battle of Britain...That's the angle we we're going for. prop (hobbyking).

David Davis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yes Prop, but you did use the "Luftwaffe March" as the background music! However, speaking as a dyed in the wool, traditional glue and balsa modeller with too many kits, abandoned projects and damaged models in the loft, I still think I'll buy one!

Tony Read 2 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hey Garbo! Which warehouse are you going to order from? Looks like the international warehouse is the only one that will have it for quite a while. I would love to get this bird in time for Xmas (same with the Lanc) but seems that the UK warehouse gets the good stuff last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbo Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I will wait for it here or the German warehouse, not going to pay the big postage but I'm in no rush. Still got a Spitfire to crash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I will wait for it here or the German warehouse, not going to pay the big postage I'm with you on that one. HK has some great stuff, just wish there was more containers coming to blighty rather than the US etc. Crash the Spit? Noooooooooooooo!

wayne drinkwater Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I got my HK hurricane a couple of weeks ago and it flies brilliantly my flying skills dont let me attempt too low a pass yet but it flies rock steady and pulls up nicely into those stirring slow rolls the more I fly it the more daring I get so its bound to end in tears . cant stop making those DAGGA DAGGA DAGGA sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
