Tamiya 37011 - 1/48 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I - w/3 Figures 田宮軍事模型戰機 雙星孖星  [37011]

An Unsung Hero

The Hawker Hurricane was developed during the 1930s as Britain&39;s first low-wing monoplane fighter and is considered a representative RAF fighter of WWII together with the Supermarine Spitfire. Its characteristic fabric-covered rear fuselage was rugged and simple to produce, and the Mk.I variant entered service from late-1937. Although Hurricanes were outperformed by the Luftwaffe&39;s Messerschmitt Bf109s, the RAF used successful tactics which saw Spitfires engage Bf109s while the Hurricanes went after the bombers. Besides the British, the Hurricane was also used by a number of other countries, including Finland. About 15,000 Hurricanes of all types were produced in total and they served with distinction until the end of the war.
