Italeri’s 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I has returned to the range – but with fresh decals as part of the company’s new WWII Aces series.
If you’re in the market for a 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I but aren’t too hung up on this type’s finer nuances, it’s worth considering Italeri’s reissued kit (2838). It’s the only 1/48 member of a five-strong series of aircraft under the company’s WWII Aces banner, all featuring markings of famous ace pilots.
