Forces of Valor 85429 1:72 U.K. HURRICANE

The Hawker Hurricane was developed as a fighter plane, the Hawker Hurricane was to revolutionize all future fighter plane design. It was to play a vital role in the Battle of Britain and eventually in many other theatres of World War II. The powerful Hawker Hurricane was not as celebrated as the Supermarine Spitfire but unbeknown to most, it had more enemy kills than all others in the U.K. arsenal. As the most numerous of fighter aircraft and aircraft squadrons, the Hurricane shouldered most of the attacks by the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. The Hurricane forced the Luftwaffe to commit its BF109's and BF110's to protect its long range bombers.
