Historical Information

The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-engine fighter widely used during World War II. It was a key aircraft during the Battle of Britain in 1940–1941, serving with the Royal Air Force and the air forces of many Allies, including Canada, the USSR, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. Early versions of the Hurricane used distinctive wheels whose detail and shape have been extremely faithfully recreated in this RESKIT set.

The “early type” wheels featured a different tire tread and specific rim details, used in the earliest production Hurricanes. Replacing them in your model increases authenticity, and is especially recommended for recreations of early WWII aircraft as well as dioramas depicting scenes from 1940.
