About The Hawker Hurricane Mk I

Powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing over 1,000 hp, the Hurricane could exceed 500 km/h. Its eight 7.7 mm Browning machine guns delivered reliable firepower. Although slower and less refined aerodynamically than its famous Spitfire counterpart, the Hurricane was robust, economical and easier to maintain, which made it indispensable on the front line. It played a crucial role in RAF service and contributed significantly to success during the Battle of Britain before later yielding the primary fighter role to the Spitfire.

A fitting choice for aircraft modellers interested in WWII RAF subjects and classic British fighters from Italeri.
