The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft of the 1930s–40s that was designed and predominantly built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd. for service with the RAF. It was overshadowed in the public consciousness by the Supermarine Spitfire's role during the Battle of Britain in 1940. These tough, partly fabric covered monoplane fighters put in a valiant defence against the numerically superior Luftwaffe during the Blitzkrieg. The aircraft was relied on to defend against German aircraft operated by the Luftwaffe, including dogfighting with Messerschmitt Bf109s in multiple theatres of action.Although slower than the Messerschmitt Bf109, and with a less destructive armament, the Hurricane was able to turn tighter, and absorb considerable punishment.  This Airfix model aircraft kit will require paints and glue to complete.Scale1:48Skill3Number of Parts127Dimensions (mm)L204 x W253Age Suitability8+Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic Cement 40ml (AD83)Plastic Magic Cement is a thin, liquid plastic cement with a 10-15 sec adjustment time & non-clog action.
