Wingspan: 10 inches ~ Length: 8 inches Scale: 1:48 Franklin Mint Model # B11B574 The story behind the Plane The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was designed and predominantly built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd for the Royal Air Force (RAF). Although largely overshadowed by the Supermarine Spitfire, the aircraft became renowned during the Battle of Britain, accounting for 60% of the RAF's air victories in the battle, and served in all the major theatres of the Second World War. The Hurricane Mk II was quickly tropicalized following Italy's entry into the war in June 1940. The Hurricane claimed its first kill in the Mediterranean on June 19 1940, when F/O P.G. Wykeham-Barnes reported shooting down two Fiat CR.42s. Hurricanes served with several British Commonwealth squadrons in the Desert Air Force including No. 274. They suffered heavy losses over North Africa after the arrival of Bf-109E and F-variants and were progressively replaced in the air superiority role from June 1941 by Curtiss P-40 Tomahawks/Kittyhawks. However, fighter-bomber variants such as this impressive "Hurribomber” retained an edge in the ground attack role, due to their impressive armament of four 20 mm (.79 in) cannon and a 500 lb (230 kg) bomb load.
