Why this kit matters
The Hawker Hurricane was a pivotal aircraft during the Battle of Britain, accounting for 60% of the RAF's air victories. Its robust design and ease of repair made it a favourite among pilots. The Hurricane's role in the battle was crucial, often overshadowed by the more famous Spitfire, yet it was the backbone of the RAF's defence strategy.
Introduced in the late 1930s, the Hurricane was the first monoplane fighter to enter service with the RAF. Its versatility and reliability made it a key player in various theatres of World War II, from Europe to the Far East. This model kit allows you to recreate a piece of aviation history, celebrating the aircraft's contribution to the Allied victory.
