RESKIT RS32-0288 HAWKER HURRICANE WHEELS SET (LATE TYPE 1) (WEIGHTED) 1/32 – Resin wheel set for 1:32 scale models

The RESKIT RS32-0288 HAWKER HURRICANE WHEELS SET (LATE TYPE 1) (WEIGHTED) is a high-quality modeling accessory dedicated to Hawker Hurricane fighter models in the impressive 1:32 scale. The product has been meticulously designed by the renowned Ukrainian company RES/KIT, which is known for the precision and durability of its detail sets. The kit consists of two main wheels (late type 1 version), rendered in the so-called "weighted" version, meaning with a natural bulge to the tires simulating the weight of the airplane.

Historical background and use

The Hawker Hurricane is a legendary British WWII fighter, constituting the backbone of the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain and many other campaigns in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Later versions of this aircraft used distinctive wheels with thickened tires and modified rims, allowing operations even from less prepared airfields. The original wheels represented in the RESKIT set were mainly found on aircraft from 1942 onwards, during the most intense aerial combats of WWII.
