AIRA14002V - Airfix 1/24 Hawker Hurricane Mk.1 - WWHP113493

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

At the start of the Battle of Britain the RAF had more Hurricanes than Spitfires, and Fighter Command's average strength through the summer of 1940 was around 1,326 of them against 957 Spitfires. The steel tube and fabric construction was old fashioned next to the Spitfire's stressed skin, but it was a steady gun platform, absorbed damage well and could be patched up overnight. This is Airfix's 1970s 1/24 Super Kit tooling, reissued in the Vintage Classics range.
