It must be admitted that in the past year, Arma Hobby didn’t exactly spoil fans of the 1:72 scale. Sure, a few new boxes with the brand's logo appeared on the market, but they were merely re-releases of well-known models, such as the P-51B or the iconic Hurricane . A bit monotonous, wouldn’t you agree? Fortunately, at the end of the year, in December 2024, the Warsaw-based manufacturer surprised modelers with a true novelty: the Nakajima Ki-43 II Hayabusa—a Japanese fighter straight from the Land of the Rising Sun.
It seems that the idea of adding a 3D printed conversion to the set appealed to modellers because after Sea Hurricane Arma Hobby released another model in the same convention. This time it's Hurricane Mk.II D, a tin opener.
Not so long ago Arma Hobby announced that it was going to release another Hurricane. It didn't take long for the model to go on sale and on my desk. Thus, the fourth version of this well-known British fighter has already appeared in the manufacturer's offer. The formula in which this kit was released is interesting. In the box we will find sprues known from the Hurricane Mk.I kit and a 3D printed conversion to the carrier-based version of this aircraft. An innovative idea, a bit more demanding than in the case of previous sets. However, thanks to the combination of injection technology and 3D printing, we have the opportunity to build a model of a less popular aircraft, for which we could otherwise wait months or even years. Reading the comments in Arma Hobby's social media, you can see that some modelers are already making big plans for what they would see next released in this formula.
