Fly Models 1/32 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc represented one of the ultimate cannon-armed developments of the famous RAF fighter. Equipped with four devastating 20mm Hispano cannons, the Mk.IIc served across Europe, North Africa, Burma, and the Mediterranean in fighter, ground-attack, and night-fighter roles. Though overshadowed by the Spitfire in public recognition, the Hurricane proved rugged, stable, and highly effective throughout World War II.

Fly’s 1/32 Hurricane Mk.IIc was released in 2016 as a multimedia limited-run kit incorporating injection plastic, resin details, photo-etch, acetate instrument panels, and canopy masks. The release immediately gained attention because it finally provided an accurate modern-tool large-scale Hurricane Mk.II.
