I love the accurate shape of the Hurricane, I am torn between an ERA 289 and a Hurricane 427. I can't see spending the money to start a kit that I will be dissapointed in (if the model in a manufacturers literature does not have good highlights, then I will surely struggle to make it look good). Some kits I have looked at need as much as a half inch of material removed just to get the bodyside reflection straight. That would be fine on a race car, but it's just not possible to make that kind of a correction in a glass body that's only 1/8" thick. For Me though, I lean toward the ERA 289 FIA because of it's rarity. I can't wait to see the new bodies FFR has been talking about (an accurate 427 and a 289 FIA). Might be worth the wait.
