Hawker Hurricane Mk.I - History of the Aeroplane
Designed in 1935 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I was the first modern fighter airplane which was made for the Royal Air Force. It was created by Sydney Camm – the chief designer of the Hawker Siddeley Company.
Although its design was similar to earlier Hawker’s planes (fuselage framework of round tubes and metal and fabric surface), it made great quality change for the Royal Air Force Fighter Command. The most important features were closed cockpit, rectractable undercarriage and big firepower – 8 7.7mm Browning machine guns. Its heart were famous Rolls Royce Merlin II and III engines.
The first Hurricanes started replacing older biplane fighters (i.e Hawker Fury, Gloster Gauntlet and Gladiator) in December 1936. At the outbreak of the second world war 16 squadrons were operational. The Hurricanes sent to France drew first blood in combats with German Luftwaffe. After bloody struggle in France and Norway Royal Air Force Fighter Command had to face the enemy over England.
As there were more Hurricane squadrons than Spitfire ones during the Battle of Britain, Hawker’s fighter should bear a name of “Defender of the Empire”
Hawker Hurricane was also the first type of British fighters used by Polish day fighter squadrons formed in the United Kingdom before introducing more modern Spitfires.
With the production growing more Hurricanes were sent to other parts of the British Empire where British forces faced Germans and Italians – to Malta, East and North Africa.

GelonOne of the most beautiful models in my collection. I'm in a hurry to build it, and use the Hataka RAF paint set. Delivery was quick (one week, but I'm in France), and prices are low for such quality. I'll buy some others in your catalog, many of them are interesting me. Thank you. |

GuzmánA few weeks ago I received my copies of Hurricane MK I in perfect packaging conditions. After carefully examining the plastic I have no doubt that it is the best of the metal wing variant of Hurricane in any brand that has existed until now, filling a niche that was inexplicably empty. I already ordered additional copies and I can not wait to represent it in a series of different camouflage schemes. I hope that this brand will remain and prosper to continue making deliveries of this high quality. |
