Italeri 1/48 Scale Sea Hurricane Plastic Model Kit

Build your static model fleet with the 1/48 Scale Sea Hurricane Plastic Model Kit. The Sea Hurricane, derived from the famous Hawker fighter, was developed to provide air cover for cargo ships convoys.

The first versions were modified to be carried by merchant ships equipped with a catapult for launching the Sea Hurricanes. The ships, however, had no recovery facilities and cranes. The only alternative for the pilots was to find a friendly landing base or to ditch the aircraft. Despite these operating limits, the Sea Hurricane gained the first victories.

The Sea Hurricane Mk Ib version was equipped with an arrest hook and the fighter could be operated from aircraft carriers, such as HMS Furious and HMS Eagle, and from MAC ships, large cargo vessels with a flight deck were able to launch and recover the aircraft. From February 1942, Sea Hurricane Mk Ic, had been introduced. More than 400 aircraft had been produced and they were used in Mediterranean and Atlantic areas.

The Italeri range of kits are manufactured from tough styrene plastic and provide a high level of scale detail.
