Discover the exceptional Arma Hobby 70044 Hurricane Mk II B Trop Model Kit in 1/72 scale, designed for all historical aviation enthusiasts and precision scale modelers. This plastic model kit represents the legendary Hawker Hurricane Mk II B Trop fighter – an aircraft that played a key role on many fronts during World War II.

Historical background and use

The Hawker Hurricane was a British single-seat fighter aircraft, widely used by the Royal Air Force and Allied air forces. The II B Trop version was specially modified for operations in tropical climates, which enabled it to operate effectively on the North African front, in the Mediterranean region, India, and the Far East. These aircraft served, among other deployments, in the North African campaign during WWII, fighting Axis forces from 1941. Equipped with dust filters on the engine and an increased armament supply (12 Browning .303 machine guns), they were a mainstay of fighter support during desert operations.
