AA35507 Hawker Hurricane Mk II, RAF BBMF, Electronic Edition
1/32nd Scale, Limited Edition #1182 of 1260
Wingspan is 15" x 12" nose to tail.
Based on the Fury biplane and designed by Sydney Camm as a monoplane fighter, the Hurricane was first flown on November 6th, 1935. With its wide-set landing gear, easy handling, reliability, and stable gun platform, the Hurricane was suitable for a variety of different roles such as intruder, ground strafing and night fighter. Steel-tube construction meant cannon shells could pass right through the wood and fabric covering without exploding. The Hurricane underwent many modifications during its lifetime, including an upgraded Merlin engine and interchangeable multi-purpose wings, staging twelve 7.7mm guns and two 40mm anti-tank guns and carrying two 500lb bombs.
Corgi's 1:32 scale Hurricane is a large model loaded with features. . All of the control surfaces are movable, including the radiator cowl and the inboard split flaps, which reveal inner details when deployed. The landing gear is hinged and easy to position for ground or in-flight display. The upper portion of the engine cowling is removable, revealing a masterfully rendered V-12 Merlin engine, and the cockpit interior and pilot figure are easily viewed with the canopy open or closed. Each release has either four machine gun ports or two Hispano cannon barrels on each side of the wing's leading edge.
