COBI - Hawker Hurricane MK.I set - 5518

The Hawker Hurricane is a single-engine fighter built by the British. It was unique for the time because of its metal construction with partial canvas covering. Work began on this fighter in 1933 but not produced until 1937. By this time the plane turned out to be technologically outdated. At the beginning of WW II, the Hurricane was the basic RAF fighter, because of its simple construction and not very complicated technological process. The set includes a model of the plane, a figure of a pilot and block stand. The plane has a rotating propeller, retractable landing gear, movable flaps and pilots cockpit which can be easily opened to put a figure inside.
