Fighter Command's squadrons used Hawker Hurricanes. This immortal partner of the Supermarine Spitfire destroyed the German bombers while the Spitfires engaged the Messerschmitt BF-109's. The Hurricane was the first combat aircraft capable of exceeding 300 M.P.H., and it became the most versatile single-seat warplane to emerge from World War 2. This plane was used in the Western Desert conflict as a fighter-bomber and a modified version, called the Sea Hurricane, became the first single-seat fighter to serve with the Fleet Air Arm. Review: Excellent Model - 5 Stars because I bought this model to practice working with balsa wood with hope that in future I can build my own models from scratch. This model covers all the basic building techniques, with simple step by step instructions. This is the first time I have used a Paul Guillows product but was so happy with the outcome I have already ordered another model from the same series. I would recommend this product to anyone who is interesting in balsa models, but please be aware it does involve the use of craft knife and other products that are not included with the kit, so a supervising adult would be required with regards to children making and finishing of this product. I would also advise looking into at the step by step guide into making balsa models on the Paul Guillows website to discover exactly what is required to make and finish this kit if this is the first time you will be making at balsa kit.
