Airfix 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 Plastic Model Kit

The Hawker Hurricane was the RAFs most vital fighter in the early years of WWII. These tough, partly fabric covered monoplane fighters put in a valiant defence against the numerically superior Luftwaffe during the Blitzkrieg. Although slower than the Messerschmitt Bf109, and with a less destructive armament, the Hurricane was able to turn tighter and absorb considerable punishment.

History

The Hawker Hurricane was the RAF's most essential fighter in the early years of WWII. These durable, partly fabric-covered monoplane fighters mounted a brave defence against the numerically superior Luftwaffe during the Blitzkrieg.
