The Italeri Hurricane Mk.IIC kit (HC-2828) portrays the Hawker Hurricane, the RAF’s most widely used fighter at the start of the Second World War and a type that contributed significantly to victory in the Battle of Britain. While later superseded in front-line fighter roles by the Spitfire, the Hurricane continued to serve effectively in specialised duties.
The Mk.IIC variant mounted four powerful 20 mm Hispano-Suiza cannons in the wings with nearly 400 rounds, giving it formidable striking power for ground attack and close support. It was also effectively deployed in a night fighter role, extending the Hurricane’s operational relevance throughout WWII.

The Hawker Hurricane was the most common and most widely used fighter of the British Royal Air Force at the start of the Second World War. It contributed significantly to the ultimate victory of the R.A.F. during the Battle of Britain, but over the course of the war it was progressively superseded in its front-line fighter role by the much more modern Spitfire.
However, the Hurricane’s role was gradually changed by the provision of awfully specific versions and armaments. The Hurricane Mk. IIC for example was equipped with 4 powerful 20 mm Hispano-Suiza cannons mounted in the wings with nearly 400 rounds of ammunition. The adoption of 20 mm cannons, instead of the traditional 7.7 mm machine guns, made the Hurricane extremely effective in ground attack and close support missions. Additionally, the Hurricane Mk. IIC was effectively deployed in a night fighter role.
