I've got that one, too, and even started on it once upon a time. Your build may work as an inspiration... - L.

The Hurricane was the first Halinski kit I built and is a beautiful kit that makes a great display model. You've done excellent job of building the kit.

Thanks David it was a fun build for me, too

Just can hardly believe that "Hurri" is a paper model! It's always been a difficult shape for plastic kit manufacturers to get right (the 'hump-back' has to be exactly right) but this is really the business. What a superb model; did this company produce a "Defiant"?

Thanks Hely, I do not know of a Defiant from Halinsky, but others may know, they have not produced as large a number of designs as say Modelik or Maly, but they are all good ones as far as I know.

(This kit has been out of print for some time, but can still be found, and the build here was a photoshop recolor that I did to lighten the colors and remove heavy dark weathering of the original artwork.)
