Default VQ Models Hurricane

Anyone got any pics or details of the new VQ Warbirds hurricane? I'm very interested in this model and very curious to see what she looks like.

Cheers, Shane

Didn't know they are bringing out a Hurricane. Where did you hear that?

I maybe missing something, but the only Hurricane I see on their website is the KMP Hurricane. Which has been offered by KMP/YT Internationale for a couple of years.

Hey Boltman, Nitrodude in Canberra has a VQ Hurri on his website for $255.00. Just wondering how he got hold of it so quick if they supposedly haven't been released yet. He doesn't have any details to match it, all it says is that it is a 40 size with a picture of a real hurri in the advert.

OK GANG...

HERE IS THE OFFICIAL LINK TO ACTUAL PHOTOS OF THE VQ MODEL AIRCRAFT "VQ HURRICANE"
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_53...tm.htm#5333578
There are .40 and .60 size Models.... The photos show all the real nice all wood built up structures and the bare bones show how strong these are built!!! If you have ever seen the VQ P-40 in person you know about the airfoil shaped tail feathers, SPLIT FLAPS, and STOUT / STRONG FIREWALLs......

See what you think!!


CHEERS!!

The Australian importer / wholesaler for VQ is The Hobby Specialists. They are also in Canberra. From memory I am not sure whether they already had the Hurricanes in stock, or if they were coming in their next container.

I know the owner of THS is overseas at the moment, I would expect that would be why the Hurricane does not appear on their website yet - www.thehobbyspecialists.com.au
