Assembly Notes and Display Potential

This 1/48 scale kit is manufactured in polystyrene and requires glue for assembly. Painting is not included, so modelmakers can choose authentic RAF finishes or personalized schemes. Once completed, the model stands well on a shelf or as the centrepiece of a small diorama reflecting WWII air combat scenes.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for added realism
The assembly is straightforward but includes small detailed parts, so it is best suited to modellers with some prior experience in glue-and-paint kits rather than complete beginners.
Yes, the kit includes decal sheets representing Hurricane Mk.I Aces markings. The decals allow choices for historically accurate squadron insignia and serials.
Use model-grade polystyrene cement for assembly and RAF enamel or acrylic paints for authentic finishes. Fine brushes and a matt or satin varnish finish will enhance realism.
