.: Oxford Diecast - Hawker Typhoon Mk Ib (AC013) :. RAF No.247 Sqn, Gerald Stapleton, RAF Eindhoven, Holland, December 1944 Scale: 1:72 Length: 5.25"Width: 7.0" The Oxford Diecast "Oxford Aviation" range presents affordable, ready made diecast models of military aircraft. Features: Diecast metal construction with some plastic components. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Permanently retracted landing gear. Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight". Fixed Propellers. Designed by Sydney Camm for the British Air Ministry, the Typhoon was first flown on February 24th, 1940. The large under-fuselage chin radiator gave the Typhoon a menacing look, and was its most notable identifying physical feature. Powered by a Napier Sabre 24 cylinder engine—which gave it a top speed in excess of 400 mph—and fitted with air-to-ground rockets and two underwing bombs, it made an exceptional fighter-bomber hybrid. The Typhoon could engage ground targets and still hold its own against German bombers and fighters. It proved especially adept at engaging marauding Fw-190 on the British coast. At the time, the Focke Wulf Fw 190s were causing a lot of damage during sneak low level raids over the south east coast of England, but they misjudged the power of the Hawker Typhoons, which excelled in this low level form of aerial combat. The Typhoons were faster than the Fw 190s, scoring great success against the Luftwaffe aircraft. This subsequently lead to their elevation to the status of fighter bomber and, armed with rockets, they went to attack enemy ships in the English Channel, as well as performing very successful attacks over many Western European battle grounds during the final stages of the war. The last Typhoon came off the production line at the end of 1945, at which point it had become a legend in its time. Oxford's example represents the Hawker Typhoon MK1b of Sqn Ldr B G Stapleton, OC 247 Sqn., Eindhoven in December 1944. With the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain this year, the Oxford Aviation WWII Typhoon is one that has certainly earned its place in your WWII airfield line up!
