The Hurricane Mk IIc
The Hawker Hurricane Mk II was developed after the first combat experience gained in the battles over France, which quickly showed the main weaknesses of the first version of the fighter. Sydney Camm's design team set itself to improve the plane’s performance and armament effectiveness. On June 11, 1940, the prototype of the Mk II version was flown, equipped with a Rolls-Royce Merlin XX engine with a two-stage compressor. With this engine, the Hurricane reached 342 mph (550 km/h). The first production Hurricane Mk IIA went into action in September 1940.
The second stage of modernisation was to improve firepower by increasing the number of machine guns to twelve, resulting in the appearance of the Mk IIB version. At the same time, work was carried out on adapting the wing to the installation of 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannons. Cannon-armed version, marked Mk IIC, appeared in units (242, 3 and 257 Squadrons RAF) in March 1941 and was produced without major changes until July 1944. A total of 4,711 Mk IIC machines were produced, serving on almost all fronts during the Second World War.
The aircraft, designed as an interceptor, was adapted over time to the role of an intruder, a night fighter (a version equipped with radar was also created), a carrier-based fighter, an attack aircraft and a light bomber. He lasted the longest in the first-line units in the latter role. The Mk IIC version also became the starting point for the Mk IID anti-tank version, equipped with two 40mm Vickers S cannons and the Mk IV - a specialised assault version that could carry bombs or rockets.
A tropicalised version was used outside the European theatre of operations, equipped with a distinctive dust filter. The pilots of the Polish Air Force met the Hurricane Mk IIC as early as in the autumn of 1941 during exchange postings in the No. 87 Squadron. In 1943, single examples were sent to the No. 318 Fighter-Reconnaissance Squadron, and in April 1944, the entire Polish No. 309 Squadron was equipped with this type and operated from airfields in Scotland on patrol duty.

The service was great - shipped from poland within a week and in perfect condition. The detail on the model is fantastic - if there was one tiny criticism it would be that the seatbelts are decals and it would have been good to have Photo-etched parts included for this in the kit (I did buy some for the main panel but didn't realise the seatbelts were decals when I bought it). I will probably use the decal with the backing to give it some thickness and also avoid risk of tearing the decals. Having said all that I am really looking froward to the build and how it will look at the end. I have looked into as many kits as I can find of a 1/48 Hurricane - this is by far and away the best. |

What a beautiful rendering of the subject. By far and away the best in its scale, possibly of all scales! I am absolutely impressed with the after-sales service I have received to replace a broken part when the kit turned up. Arma Hobby replaced not only part but the entire sprue and sent it to me all the way out here in New Zealand (possibly the furthest country from Poland in the world at no charge :) I will definitely be back to buy more kits :) |
