  • HISTORY ASPECTS:
  • The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was a British single-seat fighter that became one of the most iconic aircraft of the Royal Air Force during the early years of World War II. Designed by Sydney Camm and produced by Hawker Aircraft, the Hurricane combined robust construction with maneuverability and firepower, featuring eight .303 Browning machine guns in its wings. Its fabric-covered rear fuselage and metal forward fuselage made it relatively easy to repair in the field, a key advantage during the intense aerial battles that lay ahead.
  • The Hurricane Mk.I played a decisive role during the Battle of Britain, where it accounted for more enemy aircraft destroyed than the more glamorous Spitfire. Its ruggedness and reliability made it the backbone of RAF Fighter Command, excelling in intercepting German bombers and engaging in dogfights with Luftwaffe fighters. Beyond the skies of Britain, the Hurricane Mk.I saw action in numerous theaters including North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Far East, supporting ground forces and performing reconnaissance and ground-attack missions with equal effectiveness.
  • The versatility of the Hurricane Mk.I extended to multiple adapted versions, including those modified for ground-attack roles with bombs and rockets, as well as navalized versions for carrier operations. Its extensive service record demonstrated both its combat effectiveness and the resilience of its design, helping to establish the foundation of the RAF’s fighter dominance during the critical early years of the war. The Hurricane Mk.I’s legacy endures as a symbol of British aviation ingenuity and wartime heroism.
  • This 1:72 scale model faithfully replicates its iconic design, from the detailed wing-mounted machine guns to the distinctive fuselage and tail profile. Ideal for collectors and history enthusiasts, it allows you to celebrate the aircraft that defended Britain’s skies and played a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of World War II.
