Historical Background
The Hawker Hurricane Mk.II, introduced in the late 1930s and widely produced throughout WWII, evolved from the original Mk.I with improved armament options, enhanced performance, and various field modifications. Though it often took a backseat in public perception to the Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane remained a workhorse within the Royal Air Force, delivering reliable results in diverse theaters from the Battle of Britain to North Africa and the Eastern Front (in Allied service). Its robust design, wide operational use, and formidable ground-attack capabilities marked the Hurricane Mk.II as a cornerstone of British air power. By adopting these color photo-etched parts for your Zvezda Hawker Hurricane Mk.II kit, you honor the fighter’s extensive service record and engineering prowess, capturing the design elements that made it a stalwart of Allied aerial operations.
How to Use
Follow these steps for a fulfilling modeling experience:
- Remove any molded plastic detail where photo-etch parts will attach (cockpit panels, seat harnesses, etc.).
- Carefully separate brass items from the fret using fine nippers or a sharp blade.
- Bend or shape parts in accordance with the color instructions for proper alignment.
- Use cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or an equivalent adhesive to secure each piece.
