HAS09051 - Hasegawa 1/48 Hurricane Mk.IIC - WWHP119720

Preowned, Resealed, Mint

The Mk.IIC was the definitive cannon-armed Hurricane, trading the eight rifle-calibre machine guns of the earlier marks for four 20 mm Hispano cannon and a Merlin XX. Rather than fade away once the Spitfire took over daylight fighter duties, it became the most heavily produced Hurricane variant at 4,711 airframes, flying night fighter, intruder and ground attack sorties from Britain to North Africa and the Far East. This is Hasegawa's 1997 tooling in its first release, with markings for No. 3 Squadron machines and for PZ865, the last Hurricane ever built and still flying today with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
