Default KMP Hawker Hurricane?

Anyone heard if this bird is out yet? I`m hoping soooo much that this plane will have better quality than previous KMPs, if the very mixed reviews of other KMP birds are accurate. Personally, I think if SOMEONE ( WM, GP, H9, are you listening? ) would come out with a good quality ARF Hurri, they`d make a fortune.

It appears to be a nice plane. I agree though, it would be nice to see H9 or GP come out with one. I think the short nose and the fact you end up with engine hanging out scares them away.

The camouflage scheme might also scare them because they can't achieve soft demarcation line between the colors by using plastic covering material. CM Pro can do one though because they airbrush the camouflage onto Solartex covering.

If they made a large scale version of it, the engine may not be a problem.

HI Everyone:

On the prototype unit we have on pictured on our website there is no problem with the engine hanging out of the cowel.

As a result of the concerns that people have had regarding the quality of the KMP planes in the past...each point brought to us has been forwarded to the factory for the appropriate attention to be paid to it. This means that all new production runs have some changes made and will be continually upgraded as sugesstions come in.

The new Hurricane will be coming out of a new plant and I believe all the customers will be quite please with the overall improvement to construction and landing gear. I will be overseeing the initial assembly in two weeks while I'm at the plant in China.

I will have more "uncovered" pictures of the plane when I return. Hopefully some pictures of the B-25 as well.

Cheers,
Andrew Kondor
