Product Description Item name: 1:48 Hurricane Mk.I Hawker Hurricane was the most widely used fighter aircraft by the English Royal Air Force at the beginning of World War II. The Hurricane was powered by a 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce Merlin 12 engine with liquid cooling, which with its over 1,000 hp allowed a speed of more than 00 km/h. The eight Browning machine guns of 7.7 mm with which she was equipped also secured good firepower. While slower and outdated in terms of aerodynamic design compared to her famous "colleague" Supermarine Spitfire, with whom she shared operational use in the Battle of England Air Battle of England, she was more robust, cheaper, easy to maintain and repair. In addition, it was easier to control and therefore allowed faster training of the pilots.
