Here's a new resin Hamilton Standard Prop & Engine Face for the Canadian Hawker Hurricane from Ultracast.  

These are designed to fit the Hasegawa kit.  These are pretty straightforward.  You are to use the resin parts instead of the poorly detailed kit parts.  The resin parts from Ultracast have a great level of detail and will definitely add realism to a model.  The poorly done kit parts can detract very much from the high level of detail of your model.

These resin parts come attached to a casting block with a very thin connection point and removal is easily done.  The detail level is quite exquisite with lots of detail including bolts heads.  Installation will be no problem and these will definitely add to the detail of your Canadian Hurricane.  I recommend these to anyone building a Canadian Hurricane with the Hamilton Standard Prop & Engine Face.
Kit part are above in grey....Ultracast resin parts are in yellow

I'd like to thank Kevin at Ultracast for sending me these review sample.
