The Hawker Hurricane stands as the most widely used fighter aircraft by the British Royal Air Force at the dawn of the Second World War. Powered by a liquid-cooled Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that produced over 1,000 HP, the Hurricane could achieve speeds exceeding 500 km/h. Its formidable armament of eight 7.7 mm Browning machine guns guaranteed significant firepower in aerial combat.

While it may have been slower and more aerodynamically antiquated than its famous counterpart, the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane proved to be more robust, cheaper, and far easier to maintain and repair. Its forgiving flight characteristics also allowed for quicker pilot training, a factor that contributed significantly to the RAF's victory during the Battle of Britain. This exceptional model kit from Italeri allows you to build a detailed replica of this iconic aircraft, complete with markings to represent the planes flown by six of the most celebrated RAF aces of the era.
